McAnally suffers heart attack
Monday, November 20, 2017 – Mac McAnally, who just last week won his ninth CMA award for Musician of the Year, suffered a heart attack as well last week, but is recovering.
Jimmy Buffett posted the news about McAnally, who is in his band, on Facebook last Thursday. "OK, by now, most folks have heard about Mac's heart attack, which was a little more serious than a Big Mac attack. He is fine now and stable and should leave the hospital tomorrow, which is great news for all of us. Sadly he will not make the hurricane benefit this Sunday in Tallahassee, but while I was working on the set of "The Beach Bum", in Miami on Tuesday, Snoop said he would try and work up "Little Martha". I will keeep you posted on his progress."
McAnally, 60, released a new album, "Southbound: The Orchestra Project," earlier this year.
