Granger Smith back in Texas after stage fall in New Jersey

SAYREVILLE, N.J. – Country music artist Granger Smith is back in Texas after he was hospitalized for injuries sustained when he fell off a stage in New Jersey.

Smith posted Tuesday on Twitter that he’s starting to regain movement.

Smith was treated for two broken ribs and a punctured and partially collapsed lung at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.

He was singing while standing on an audio monitor when it gave way and he fell into a metal barricade at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville on Friday night. He got back up and continued performing.

His remaining 2016 shows have been cancelled.
