(Radio.com) The Associated Press is reporting that Merle Haggard has been hospitalized for a second time for his recurring bout of double pneumonia. The singer was initially hospitalized in early December, when he was first diagnosed with double pneumonia.

A few weeks later he did an interview with Sirius XM where he acknowledge how ill he really was upon admittance. "I was nearly dead," he said, adding, "They couldn't tell whether the [lung] cancer had returned or whether I just had pneumonia.

"They had to wait until they got the pneumonia under control before we could tell. So it's been kind of a tough couple of weeks, but I've got so many people to thank." Read more here.
