Country singer John Michael Montgomery has check himself into a rehabilitation center at an undisclosed location. The singer is seeking treatment for substance abuse, severe anxiety attacks and a sleeping disorder. All concert dates and personal appearances have been canceled for the next 30 days.
John has issued a personal statement on his website:
I will be disappearing for a while to try and defeat the demons that have stripped me of my energy of life and good health for so many years now. I assure you that however long it may take, I’m gonna fight to the end and come out stronger.”
John has an upcoming album Time Flies which will be released in September. Stringtown Records is fully behind the singer and his newest single, “If You Ever Went Away.”
Good luck John on your quest for good health and happiness. I personally had the chance to meet John at JJ’s Outpost Bar and Grill in New Richmond, WI, last fall when he was in town on a hunting trip with some acquaintances. John went out of his way to please all of his fans and spent much of his time there posing for pictures and signing autographs.
