Will Hoge Hospitalized

This is very disturbing news for me personally. I've known Will personally for the past ten years, and been a fan of his music and career. He's a fantastic songwriter. My best to Will and his family.

Please Aaron, keep us updated.

Damn! Best of luck to you Will.

Will is in critical condition, but hospital staff expects him to pull through and make a full recovery, thank goodness.

My thoughts are with Will. He's got to make a full recovery...the two times I'm seen him play are not nearly enough. The man rocks!

And by the way, WATCH FOR MOTORCYCLES!

Sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed the last time I saw him. I hope he gets well soon.

An Update as of 8/22 - from Will's Web and Myspace page ...

Will’s condition has been upgraded to stable after a Wednesday evening traffic accident. He suffered broken bones and contusions when his scooter was struck by another vehicle at approximately 8 p.m., Central Time Wednesday, August 20. Will was departing the Nashville studio where he is working on the follow up to 2007’s Draw the Curtains for his record label, Rykodisc.

“Mr. Hoge suffered multiple injuries during the accident, however, he is progressing according to plans,” said Dr. John A. Morris Jr., director of the Division of Trauma at Vanderbilt Medical Center.

Will’s family, management team and record label appreciate the outpouring of well-wishes from friends and fans. Will is anxious to get back in the studio and on tour, and will do so as soon as his doctors allow.

Best wishes to Will for a quick recovery.

Best wishes, hope all turns out well. Just something to keep in mind when we're on the road, motorcycles and scooters are not always as easy to see, especially scooters because they are virtually silent as well. A little PSA, please remember to look twice before proceeding through a traffic signal or changing lanes. No one wants to be involved in a fatal accident. Since I started riding a motorcycle several years ago I've noticed how my mindset while driving a car has changed dramatically for the better. You'd be surprised how unsafe the average driver appears when you're on a motorcycle.
