Country singer Randy Travis has been admitted to a Texas hospital and is listed in critical condition, according to his public relations firm.
The six-time Grammy winner is suffering from complications of recently acquired viral cardiomyopathy.
"Cardiomyopathy is the term for any disease of the heart muscle that interferes with the heart’s ability to pump blood with sufficient force," according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Travis' condition, which is viral, was caused by an infection in the heart.
Travis, 54, was admitted to the hospital on Sunday.
The illness is a continuation of a tough run for the "Three Wooden Crosses" singer after a handful of recent high-profile appearances, including a performance during the Country Music Association Festival's nightly concert series.
Travis had also performed at the memorial service for slain ex-Navy SEAL Chris Kyle in February.
