Grammy-winning country artist Kacey Musgraves has revealed that she sustained a broken rib on Wednesday in a freak accident while in Mexico. On Friday, she shared an X-ray of her broken rib with her social media followers. “This s--t is no joke. I’m in a lot of pain and doing ANYTHING is extremely difficult but I’m managing and being well taken care of,” she wrote. “Wednesday night it was raining and I was running to grab some towels and had an extremely hard fall on some very slick tile I didn’t see. Thankful I didn’t smack my head but I landed very hard on my back left ribcage and broke rib number six.” Musgraves said she has to reschedule her upcoming performance in Nashville. Fans flooded her post on Twitter with their condolences and messages of support. Musgraves is expected to go back on stage on July 5 and throughout the rest of the summer.
