Infection

Chris Young had a pretty big health scare earlier this month, when an infection in his leg required quick surgery and for him to sit out a few tour dates. It was said to be some sort of bacterial issue, but the singer has revealed a very simple, surprising cause of the problem -- one that many of his fans likely deal with on a daily basis.

Chris Young's leg infection could have triggered something much more serious had doctors not intervened. The singer was treated in Denver last week after falling ill during a flight. Doctors performed emergency surgery to remove the infection after he began to go into septic shock.
