SAD NEWS: 30 minutes ago in Poteet, Texas, at age 73, Norma, the wife of George Strait, shared an important update about his health.
In a heartfelt message released from their home in Poteet, Texas, Norma Strait—the devoted wife of the King of Country Music—spoke softly but courageously about her husband’s current condition. Her words were steady, filled with both faith and tenderness, as she revealed that George is currently resting and receiving ongoing medical care, surrounded by family who remain hopeful and prayerful during this difficult time.
“George is taking things one day at a time,” Norma said. “He’s in good spirits, and he’s been listening to music every morning. We’re so thankful for all the love and prayers being sent our way.”
The news brought fans across the country to tears. For more than forty years, George Strait has been more than an entertainer—he’s been a voice of comfort, strength, and tradition. Songs like “I Cross My Heart,” “Amarillo by Morning,” “Carrying Your Love with Me,” and “Troubadour” have become the soundtrack to countless lives, echoing through weddings, road trips, and quiet nights on the porch. Now, it’s his fans who are returning that same love back to him—through thousands of messages, prayers, and heartfelt tributes online.

Friends close to the family say that despite the challenges, George’s spirit remains unbroken. He still hums old melodies around the house, sometimes picking up his guitar for a few soft chords when he feels strong enough. “He’s always been tough,” one longtime bandmate shared. “George doesn’t talk about pain—he just keeps moving forward.”
The outpouring of emotion has been overwhelming. Fans have organized candlelight vigils, while country radio stations across Texas have begun dedicating nightly airplay to his classic songs. Younger artists, many of whom grew up idolizing George, have also joined in sending their love. “He’s the foundation,” one Nashville singer said. “Without George Strait, there wouldn’t be modern country as we know it.”
Though the family has asked for privacy, Norma ended her statement with gratitude. “We’re thankful for every message, every prayer, and every song that reminds us how deeply George’s music has touched people. He’s listening, and he’s feeling that love.”
As the sun sets over the Texas hills tonight, millions of fans around the world are doing the same thing—turning on an old George Strait record and whispering a prayer for the man whose voice has guided generations.
Because even now, through the silence and uncertainty, one truth remains: legends like George Strait never truly fade—they live forever in the songs that carry their heart.
