Country music legend Mickey Gilley was seriously injured in a fall in Branson, Missouri on Sunday and underwent surgery on Tuesday.
The 73-year-old has since been flown to Houston, Texas for futher treatment but, despite numerous reports, FOX News can confirm Gilley is not paralyzed.
"He is absolutely not paralyzed," his rep said. "He did have a fall and surgery on his back, there was some bruising, and he was flown to Texas for physical therapy, but his doctors are satisfied with the recovery. He will be flown home in a jet. They just want to make sure it won't tire him out to much."
Gilley's condition does remain serious however.
"When you have surgery on your back its not a mild thing, it is serious, but he'll have physical therapy because of stiffness and they expect him to be fine."
Gilley was scheduled to perform in Branson, but the shows have been canceled pending his recovery.
