NASHVILLE - Country singer Tanya Tucker is in a Nashville hospital recovering from a respiratory infection that has forced her to postpone six upcoming concerts.

In a written statement, Tucker apologized to fans who bought tickets. She added, "I just feel terrible, but I'll get even worse if I don't take care of myself. I love you all."
