Brooks and Dunn’s Ronnie Dunn is reassuring fans after a recent health scare.

The country legend shared an update on Facebook, revealing he visited Vanderbilt Hospital after struggling through recent performances.

Dunn initially feared he had damaged his vocal cords.

“I don’t feel too good tonight. Went to Vanderbilt yesterday. I struggled a little bit last week. Thought I maybe injured my vocal cords. They said I didn’t, but I’ve got like a touch of bronchitis.”

Doctors advised him to stay hydrated, and Dunn joked about the consequences, saying he was “pretty sure I’m going to pee my pants onstage.”

Despite the illness, Dunn continues performing on tour.
