Tanya Tucker delayed a visit to the emergency room this weekend to support her friend Paul Overstreet during his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Tucker was on stage Sunday and revealed that she had internal bleeding and believed her lungs were possibly collapsed, but she refused to miss the Medallion Ceremony. She went on to deliver a heartfelt speech in Overstreet's honor, wrapping it up by saying, "I'm thrilled to be the person who gets to do the honors and go on to the ER right after this." Tucker was reportedly in Costa Rica three days prior to the event when she fell down a flight of stairs. Overstreet was inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside The Stanley Brothers and Tim McGraw.
