NASHVILLE — Randy Travis has suffered a stroke Wednesday evening and is in surgery at an unidentified Texas hospital, his publicist said.

The 54-year-old suffered the stroke while being treated for congestive heart failure for a viral illness.

Travis was undergoing surgery Wednesday night to relieve pressure on his brain, the Associated Press said.

He was also listed in critical condition.

Doctors said Travis had been in good health until three weeks before he was put in the hospital, which happened Sunday.
