Country Legend Don Williams Abruptly Ends Tour After Undergoing Unexpected Surgery Don Williams was just getting ready for his 2016 tour. He was excited, his fans were ready, and everything seemed to be going great. However, Williams, a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee, made an announcement earlier this week that he would not be able to go through with his tour. Doctors told him he would need to get hip replacement surgery, and that he needed it soon. Fans are going through an array of emotions. Some are angry that they wont be able to see him as promised, others are sad and worried. We just hope and pray that he makes a full and speedy recovery so that he can get back on the road. Williams is known as The Gentle Giant, and its hard to be upset with the guy. After all, its not like any of this is his fault. Williams is a legend, and he still has a lot of time left to leave an even bigger impact. Will you send your prayers for Don Williams?
