Randy Travis began having a tough run of luck back in 2010 after an acrimonious divorce with his first wife, Lib Hatcher. In 2012, he was arrested twice for alcohol-related incidents, one in which he allegedly entered a convenience store naked and then crashed his car. He pled guilty to a DUI charge for that offense in early 2013, receiving two years probation, a $2,000 fine and a 180-day suspended jail sentence as a result.

In 2014 Randy Travis was admitted to the hospital with heart troubles that lead doctors to diagnose the singer with idiopathic cardiomyopathy. During treatment Travis suffered a stroke and required surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. During this time the doctors prognosis for the Randy’s recovery was grim revealing he would need several months of physical therapy to make a full recovery.
