Life Notes: Average Joes' Colt Ford is "steadily improving in a positive direction," but remains hospitalized in ICU, according to an update from his label. Ford suffered a heart attack last week after performing at Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row in Gilbert, AZ (CAT 4/5). The label statement says, "At this time, his family is requesting privacy and appreciates your continued thoughts and prayers."

Lorrie Morgan's husband, Randy White, is undergoing treatment for mouth cancer. "We deeply appreciate the prayers and well wishes, and for continued support and privacy as we focus on Randy's health and on our family at this time," she says.
