Tucker's previous update came on Aug. 4, when she told fans that her doctors were recommending that she continue to rest before returning to the road. "I'm just overwhelmed by all the flowers, love and support since I had hip surgery. The doctors want me to rest a few more weeks before we get back on the road," she shared at the time. "I want you to know every day I feel stronger, better and ready to kick some a—. We'll see y'all real soon. I promise."
The 62-year-old initially told fans in mid-July that she had undergone emergency hip surgery. "Hey Loves, My hip has been giving me hell for a while now and the docs discovered a hip fracture," she revealed. "I had to have surgery right away. The operation went well and I'm on track for a speedy recovery. I'll be at home healing for a few weeks but can't wait to get back out and see you as soon as I can. I LOVE y'all and a bad hip can't keep me down! Love, Tanya."
A representative for Tucker previously told WDIO that the country star was admitted to the hospital "for an emergency hip replacement surgery as an MRI has revealed a hip fracture that requires immediate attention."
