“DON’T let me die!”
That’s the plea Randy Travis made from his Texas hospital bed as friends and family gathered tearfully around his Plano home, praying that the legendary but troubled country star would survive.
Travis, 54, was admitted to the hospital on July 7, stricken with a deadly case of viral cardiomyopathy, a virus that attacks the heart muscle. Friends fear the crooner’s wild lifestyle had weakened his heart and helped cause the infection.
“If he was a drinker, then alcohol weakened his heart,” Dr. Matthew Budoff, a cardiologist at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA who does not treat Travis, told The ENQUIRER.
