October 20, 1999 Johnny Cash In The Hospital (NASHVILLE) -- Country music legend Johnny Cash is being treated in a Nashville hospital. The 67-year-old singer is suffering from pneumonia. Baptist Hospital spokeswoman Lois Bland says Cash is listed in serious condition. The singer, a fixture on the country music scene for more than 40 years, suffers from Shy-Drager syndrome, a disease that attacks the nervous system in much the same way as Parkinson's disease. He has been in and out of hospitals several times this year. Copyright © 1996-1999 Yahoo!
