Randy Travis Nearly Died, Wife Reveals

On Tuesday (March 29) veteran country music superstar and committed Christian Randy Travis was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Though Travis was to give a speech in appreciation of the honor, he was still too weak to talk. The only words Travis could utter was "thank you."
Travis' wife, Mary, took the podium to address the industry tastemakers on hand for the big announcement. In a heartfelt speech, she revealed how her husband nearly died when he had the stroke in 2013."They really said there was no hope; go ahead and pull the plug," she admits. "I went to his bedside and I said, 'Baby, you've got to give me some more fight.' And I knew that he had had a little talk with Jesus, because he squeezed my hand, and a little tear fell down," she continues, choking back tears herself. "And I knew that he wasn't through yet."
"He's a wonderful man; he's a wonderful husband," she adds. "I'm blessed beyond measure to get to walk beside him."
Travis joins Charlie Daniels and Fred Foster in the Class of 2016. Daniels is being inducted in the Veteran category, and Foster is being included in the Recording/Touring Musician category. Travis is being inducted in the category of Modern Era,
In the year 2000 and beyond, Travis shifted away from mainstream country and focused on gospel. During this time, he recorded the albums Inspirational Journey (2000), Rise and Shine (2002), and Worship & Faith (2003). The single "Three Wooden Crosses" from the Rise and Shine album reached No. 1 and won the CMA song of the year in 2003. Later, in 2005, Travis released Glory Train: Songs of Faith, Worship, and Praise followed by the Christmas album Songs of the Season in 2007,
