Loretta Lynn Recovering From Flu

Loretta Lynn is battling the flu and has canceled or postponed her remaining tour dates for 2009.

According to a statement on the Coal Miner's Daughter's website, the singer is under doctor's orders to "take some additional time off until after the first of the year due to the flu." The 74-year-old legend is reportedly resting and recovering at home, and looking forward to spending the holidays with family. In January, she'll receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy.
