After singer Lee Brice paid tribute to Travis by singing his classic song “Forever and Ever, Amen.” Travis had been engaged to Davis since early 2013. Nearly three years after suffering a massive stroke, the music legend struggled to speak at the 2016 Country Music Hall Of Fame Inductees Announcement with his wife, Mary Davis-Travis, by his side, who eventually took the mic to help Randy finish his speech, and recounted heartbreaking details of the 56-year-old’s near-death experience.
“They really said there was no hope — go ahead and pull the plug,” Mary emotionally shared with the crowd while standing next to Randy on stage. “I went to his bedside and I said, ‘Baby, you’ve got to give me some more fight.’”
Randy and his longtime fiancée married in March 2015, our reliable sources confirmed that on time. The singer-songwriter has had a lengthy recovery process that has kept him mostly out of the public eye since being hospitalized in Dallas, Texas after his 2013 stroke.
