At 82, David Allan Coe Defeats COVID-19, Released From Hospital
A serious tussle with COVID-19, and even a host of pre-existing conditions was no death sentence for country legend David Allan Coe. And now with a long list of accolades and nicknames he already enjoys, perhaps we can now call him the Rolling Stone of Country since just like Mick and Keith, he might outlive us all.
David Allan Coe celebrated his 82nd birthday on September 6th in the hospital after being admitted in August after testing positive for COVID-19, and registering low oxygen levels. He never had to be intubated, and instead was treated with supplemental oxygen and high doses of vitamins. He also had to be fed intravenously.
But Saving Country Music can report that David Allan Coe has finally been discharged from the hospital, and is continuing to recover and increase his strength at home. He remains on supplemental oxygen, but is said to be working on getting back out to play shows soon.
It was first announced on August 16th that live appearances by David Allan Coe scheduled for August 20th and 21st would be postponed due to concerns over rising COVID-19 cases. Then it was announced on August 20th that all remaining shows in August and September had been postponed after Coe, his wife Kimberly, and both Kimberly’s son and grandson had also tested positive. David Allan Coe was hospitalized in Ormond Beach, Florida.
“We would all like to thank the doctors, nurses, and specialists who are working with David and all COVID patients around the country, and a special thank you to the Ormond Beach Fire Department and EMTs,” wife Kimberly said on September 1st.
Born in Akron, Ohio, David Allan Coe spent much of his youth and young adult life in and out of reform schools before getting out of prison for good in 1967, and moving to Nashville to pursue a country music career. Writing Tanya Tucker’s #1 hit “Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone)” in 1973 put Coe on the radar of Music Row, and by the next year he was signed with Columbia Records, and became part of country music’s “Outlaw” movement, releasing his signature song “You Never Even Called Me By My Name” in 1975 co-written by Steve Goodman and John Prine.
Coe has experienced numerous ailments over the years, including needing knee replacement surgery in April 2019. He was also diagnosed with an inner ear infection in February of 2018 that was first falsely reported as a stroke. Up to his recent hospitalization, Coe continued to tour and perform regularly.

Maybe he is a Lich
September 21, 2021 @ 1:12 pm
Glad he is better. He was lucky this time, and may not be the next time. The only sure fire way NOT TO GET COVID, GET VACCINATED And even when you do always wear a mask, wash your hands and social distance. Just getting vaccinated alone will not do it. YOU HAVE TO DO all these things and keep doing them daily. It is the only way of not getting covid.
September 21, 2021 @ 1:19 pm
You can still catch it if you do all that stuff.
September 21, 2021 @ 2:09 pm
No you cannot. Also wearing gloves works great too. So what do you suggest? No masks or anything and hope magic faries protect you? Go back to snorting your wood glue you have no idea what you are talking about. Oh wait you are a conservative, take HORSE DEWORMER PILLS RIGHT? WOW .HOW IGNORANT CAN YOU BE.
September 21, 2021 @ 2:21 pm
You seem to be moving the bar.
September 21, 2021 @ 2:26 pm
I think if you can wear a surgical glove over your (entire) head you definitely won’t get it
September 21, 2021 @ 2:55 pm
Wow, so you idiots DO believe the vaccine prevents you from catching COVID, which is absolutely untrue. And here all this time I just thought you were all willfully lying.
September 21, 2021 @ 5:22 pm
Countryfan68 trusts The Science™️.
September 24, 2021 @ 5:05 pm
Yes. I trust science over brain dead conservatives who want to take horse dewormer pills, and attack people who wear masks, and get vaccinated. You talk about freedom, you do not want the government in your lives, but yet you two faced hypocrites want the government to ban gay marriage, gays adopting kids, transgenders from using the restrooms, playing in sports of the gender they go by, to control women’s bodies, you talk about freedom , you lovers do not even know the meaning of the word.
And by the way Honkey face, you say your body is chemical free? YOU ARE A LIAR. if you went to a public school, you had to be vaccinated from the chicken pox , mumps and measles. You had no choice, your parents took you to the doctor and you got the shots.
That is what gets me, if conservatives got vaccinated from the measles, then why cry about covid vaccine mandates? There is no difference, like all businesses ,stores and resteraunts require you to wear shirts and shoes or you will not be served. Then you are OK with this but add in a mask and you cry like a baby and complain about freedom? There is no difference. So tell me oh great Master of all knowledge, what is the difference? In the points I just .made , why do you have no problem with school mandates for vaccines, yet you do for covid, and why don’t you cry about having to wear shirts and shoes in all businesses, but you do masks?
So go ahead start calling me names say I am mental and make fun of me, the truth kills you, you know I am right. There is no difference in these things, that is why you will not answer my questions. Enjoy your sad and delusional life. But facts are FACTS. BUSINESSES AND PUBLIC OFFICES CAN INFORCE RULES TO KEEP THEIR EMPLOYEES SAFE. FROM BRAIN DEAD IDIOTS WHO CAN CAUSE THEM TO GET SICK FROM A disease like covid, it is not taking away your freedoms, but when a store refuses to sell a gay couple a wedding cake, that is OK with you, but when they have a mask mandate, then it is not OK? Sorry honkey tonk man, you can not have it both ways.
I suggest you and your conservative comrades. Go back and look in the dictionary and look up what freedom is, because you do not know what it means, oh and be sure to check with mum and pops about your medical records. I bet 20 to 1 your sorry ass was vaccinated, so you could go to school, your body is not so chemical free after all? Oh how I love the irony, so go ahead and start calling me names now your honkeyship, HHHAAAAA HA HA HAAA!!
September 21, 2021 @ 7:47 pm
I recon you could live in a bubble and be safe. And yes you can still catch and spread covid being vaccinated.
September 24, 2021 @ 7:34 pm
Did any of you read my post? I said if you get vaccinated AND AND AND WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES, WEAR GLOVES, AND SOCIAL DISTANCE STAY 6FT AWAY FROM PEOPLE AND WASH YOUR HANDS. THEN NO YOU WILL NOT GET COVID. YOU CONSERVSTIVES ARE SO STUPID THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN READ. I DO ALL THESE THINGS AND I DO NOT HAVE COVID. I even said vaccines alone will not protect you. Get your eyes checked and learn how to read boy genius
April 7, 2022 @ 8:29 am
What a miserable way to live your life.
September 21, 2021 @ 8:36 pm
Not only CAN you get it again but in both Singapore and Israel where over 80% of the population are vaccinated and where they have the strictest mask and social distancing guidelines each have seen new cases reach a six month high with deaths nearly quadrupling between August 3rd and Sept 5th in Israel
meanwhile there are no more active cases of coronavirus in the 33 districts of Uttar Pradesh, India which has a population of 241 million people. It has been eradicated despite the fact only 5.8% of the people there have taken the jab (versus over 53% in America) and do you know why? They started using Ivermectin,
When you refer to Ivermectin solely as horse de-wormer as if it had no other uses you only proves you know nothing about the nobel prize winning medicine which has been used safely since the 1970s to cure numerous ills in both animals and humans as it comes in both animal and human form the primary difference being the dosage, I would also highly suggest you take the time to watch at least a few minutes of this video from the FDA’s youtube channel starting at the 4 hour 20 minute mark FDA: vaccines and related biological products advisory committee. September 17, 2021.
https://youtu.be/WFph7-6t34M?t=15710
At this point in the presentation, the speaker has indicated that more people are dying from the Pfizer vaccine than those unvaccinated. These numbers are staggering. 411 deaths per million doses. 150,000 people have died after taking the vaccine. The vaccine is working at a ratio of two deaths per one life. 2:1. Vaccinated men are 71 times more likely to have a heart attack. The speaker is, literally calling it, “the elephant in the room”.
This video is legit. The virtual meeting took place today. Start at approximately 4 hours and 20 minutes in for the “elephant in the room“ presentation. After that watch the presentation before it or, just jump around. All of this will blow your mind. It proves the lies not only about the vaccine but also those you are repeating about Ivemectin which is mentioned by various doctors and other medical experts throughout the presentation as the reference its success in Uttar Pradesh . and for the record The Associated Press, Rolling Stone and New York Times have all had to print retractions on their lies about Ivermectin ,meanwhile Jimmy Kimmel continues to repeat the lie, which is what you get for taking medical advice from late night talk show hosts (little wonder why he would spread misinformation as his employers biggest commercial markets reside with the big pharma brands like Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, Moderna and Astra Zeneca all who run non stop ads on the tv networks selling you their products all day everyday between programming and thats exactly what it is, programming)
be well.
September 22, 2021 @ 6:40 pm
“Be well”
You are unwell.
No, 150,000 people did not die from the vaccine. And some loon crashing an open FDA hearing does not mean the FDA stands behind his deranged commentary. I don’t think there’s one factual thing in that idiotic post of yours.
Some seriously braindead people read this site and trust me as a touring sideman — your favorite artists are laughing at you.
P.s. and for the 8000th time watching YouTube videos is NOT research JBFC
September 23, 2021 @ 9:55 am
That fella from slipknot, corey… got covid and he was fully vaccinated, so we’re all going to get it eventually… just depends now on whether it kills us or not.
glad DAC is out of the hospital.
September 24, 2021 @ 8:40 pm
Serious question.
Did your mother have any children that lived?
October 4, 2021 @ 1:41 pm
You’re nuts I’ve never had covid and I’ve ran around since the beginning of the pandemic without a mask and being a Pansy and still never caught it
November 9, 2021 @ 3:16 am
You just need to live in a bubble~ What you are saying is ridiculous~ Good luck with all that preventive measures your taking and wanting others to follow~
September 21, 2021 @ 1:22 pm
His natural immunity is now better than a vaccine. Some of you MFers spouting science support should have paid more attention in your remedial classes.
September 21, 2021 @ 1:56 pm
This is false. Clearly you never went to class.
September 21, 2021 @ 2:18 pm
Not sure if you are serious here. Stick to what you know. Like being fearful.
September 21, 2021 @ 3:27 pm
Absolutely not. I have a coworker that’s intubated in the ICU right now, after having covid twice in the last year. She thought the previous infections were mild and was on the anti-vax train. Now I honestly don’t know if I’ll see her alive again. All people have to do to increase their chances of getting through an infection without severe symptoms is get vaccinated. Yet morons are still spouting nonsense and would rather have access to invermectin and other nonsense drugs.
September 21, 2021 @ 4:54 pm
Travis, you have an anecdotal story. Science does not work that way, which explains why you guys think science is a consensus. Emotional people have a hard time understanding rationality and logic that science requires.
September 21, 2021 @ 5:35 pm
And what peer reviewed journal says having immunities from having the virus is better than the vaccine. I’m a professional engineer. I understand science, unfortunately you idiots don’t, hence the anecdote.
September 21, 2021 @ 6:49 pm
Travis, you must be a custodial engineer because you don’t understand science. Google that shit and see what you find.
September 21, 2021 @ 7:43 pm
For Honcho below since I can’t reply below: So no peer reviewed study you can cite, huh? Thought as much. But feel free to hurl another insult. They’re really bothering me…
September 21, 2021 @ 2:13 pm
Folks, I’m asking once again that people refrain from veering into divisive subjects and participating in incessant back and forths.
September 21, 2021 @ 4:09 pm
With all due respect, it’s a COVID-related story. What do you expect?
September 21, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
I expect people to discuss the matter civilly, and without lobbing grenades at each other. Like Ben Parks said, can’t we just be happy for David Allan Coe?
Let me put this a different way: Every time a flame war ensues in the comments section, I hemorrhage readers. You hurt this website, and its ability to promote cool artists, and my capability to continue doing it for a living. It is selfish, irresponsible, and ineffective at persuading anyone to whatever side you’re arguing for.
September 21, 2021 @ 5:19 pm
????You don’t hemorrhage readers. Please tell me you don’t really believe that.
September 21, 2021 @ 5:39 pm
You and everyone else would be absolutely blown away by the emails I receive from folks who say they were regular readers, but just can’t deal with the comments sections anymore. I also can verify this in the data churn. There are still lots of readers, but many long time readers have moved on.
September 21, 2021 @ 6:15 pm
I’m genuinely curious as to why they can’t read your articles and not the dreaded and scary comment section. And I guess the follow up would be how they manage to put their shoes on in the morning.
September 21, 2021 @ 6:56 pm
Seems like that would be easy. But from the beginning, these comments sections were just as important, if not more than the articles themselves. Some people came to the site for the comments specifically.
September 21, 2021 @ 6:38 pm
I’m sorry Trigg I didn’t mean to ruin the website
September 21, 2021 @ 6:53 pm
I have no doubt that you receive “gonna quit weading” threats, but those work the same way “death” threats do. They’re just words intended to coax someone into doing something.
And if anyone does stop reading, it’s only temporary. When they’re done pouting, they’ll be back.
September 21, 2021 @ 6:57 pm
Empirically, you have no actual knowledge what were in those syringes they injected you with. Given the fact that the China manufacturers more than any other country, there is a strong possibility you now contain Chinese tap water.
September 22, 2021 @ 12:33 pm
He doesn’t need to be vaccinated. Do your research. If you already had covid you have the antibody that prevents you from getting it. Mask don’t truely work. I have had covid twice. Wore mask santized everytime still caught it. Husband has been tested been told he is immune to the virus
June 6, 2023 @ 8:23 am
B.S. I reckon in saying what you have is based purely on accepting the words of big pharma people like Fauchi, who funded the manufacture of the man manipulated bat virus, and the experimental ‘vaccine’ ! The statistics prove at this point that the so called vaccine offered no effectivity against the virus! In fact even those who had bouster shots contracted the virus at near exact same levels as unvaccinated people. Now arriving is data showing vaccinated people are showing much accelerated levels of heart problems, even youthful people.
June 6, 2023 @ 9:05 am
getting vaccinated does not prevent covid, you have not had covid twice, you have had the flu which magically disappeared from 2020-2021 ,just magically went from over 38 million cases from 2019-2020 to under 2000 cases in the 2020-2021 season. guess what, i never locked down , work with the public, never wore a mask, never took experiential jabs and have never been ill, and wont be because i eat healthy, exercise, live right and dont let the third leading cause of deaths (medical error) anywhere near my body. everyone i know who has been sick or died in the last 3 years were all ‘vaccinated’ but you go right on raging FOR the machine oblivious to the fact that the largest financial contributor to all the ‘news’ outlets you get your ‘information’ from is big pharma. if there had ever been a real pandemic you would have seen your neighbors being carted away week after week like it was the black plague all over again, instead you cant name ten people you know who died of this fraud of ‘virus’ which you only die from if you are naive enough to go to a hospital and let them murder you with the 1 2 3 death blow of intubation, ventilation and remDEATHsivir . and all for a virus which were it real you had a 99.8% chance of surviving , never let critical thinking over ride that fear mongering… as if death was something to fear in the first place…pfft

Regarding 10 David Allan Coe Badass Moments, will you be removing one or just going to make it 11 Badass David Allan Coe Moments…..DAC defeats Covid at 82.
September 21, 2021 @ 1:27 pm
Good news but it will take some time to recover. It hits the lungs hard. Best wishes to him.
September 21, 2021 @ 1:56 pm
It’s all that I can do to keep from crying.
September 21, 2021 @ 2:06 pm
MH, nice!
September 21, 2021 @ 2:19 pm
Just taking some time off for bad behavior.
September 21, 2021 @ 2:31 pm
That’s great news! May he and his family members be blessed with full recoveries!
September 21, 2021 @ 3:46 pm
You have now way of knowing if he is vaccinated or not. And honestly it’s none of your business if he is or not. For all you know he may have been a mask and sanitizer nazi that happened to cocntract it from family member. Can’t we just be glad he’s doing better
September 21, 2021 @ 4:00 pm
I am glad DAC is on the mend. I am vaccinated but that wad my choice personally everybody else is free to do whatever they choose!
September 21, 2021 @ 5:22 pm
You don’t have to call him Rolling Stone, trigger. You never even called him by his name
September 25, 2021 @ 10:16 pm
Love you comment bro. You nailed it.
September 21, 2021 @ 6:52 pm
News flash:
David Allan Coe DID NOT leave the hospital because he was on the mend.
He left because he was EXTREMELY ANGRY at the doctors and nurses at the hospital.
According to Coe, it seems that, even after being there for a number of days, they never even called him by his name.
September 21, 2021 @ 7:08 pm
Real good news at a time when everyone could use it. We have lost far too many country music greats in the past two years for my liking. Like to think of DAC throat punching Covid. One for the good guys.

Thanks, Trig, this update means a lot.
I love DAC.
He’s spoken to my soul for over 45 years.
September 22, 2021 @ 2:32 pm
Got IV fluids, now he’s laughing last
If that ain’t country. I’ll kiss your a$$
September 22, 2021 @ 7:28 pm
Chuck Norris dreams he was DAC.
Nashville, do the right thing and put him in the Hall of Fame. His 70s albums are equal to anybody else’s.
September 23, 2021 @ 11:50 am
David, use what I taught you to use to strengthen your lungs again like back in that accident with the semi, the same thing will bring you through this!! Stay out of the dam bed!
Nurse Terri
September 23, 2021 @ 3:48 pm
“Take this COVID-19 and shove it.”
I am sure some woke writers are upset that Coe made it out OK.
September 23, 2021 @ 6:13 pm
If they even have any idea who he is, they are upset he was ever born.
September 23, 2021 @ 11:53 pm
Great news I’ve got tickets to see him in Kansas City
January 13, 2022 @ 11:37 pm
Well countryfan68 howd your clown post age? Where’s my clown and sheep emoji?!
