* NOW A LOOK AT COUNTRY MUSIC & THE PEOPLE MAKING IT TODAY *
Despite Injury,
Kenny Chesney's Tour Continues As Planned
Kenny Chesney's concert schedule will not be affected
by an injury he sustained Saturday night (April 26)
while aboard a hydraulic lift used during the opening
of his concert in Columbia, S.C. The concert production
began with Chesney being elevated onto a stage while
the band provides the introduction to his opening song.
At Saturday's show, Chesney's boot was lodged between
the lift and the stage for nearly 40 seconds as the
lift motor kept trying to push the platform up. Chesney
managed to complete his performance that lasted almost
two hours, but he was in considerable pain and received
two shots of morphine after leaving the stage. Although
initial reports indicated he crushed bones in his foot,
Chesney later consulted with the Tennessee Titans'
sports medicine and orthopedic specialist after return-
ing to Nashville on his tour bus early Sunday morning.
The diagnosis is that Chesney sustained a hematoma from
the ankle down -- with most of the damage in his toes.
Chesney emphasized to his doctor that he wanted to avoid
cancelling any concerts. His next show takes place
Thursday (May 1) in Austin, Texas. "He told me it's go-
ing to hurt -- though nothing could hurt worse than
Saturday, I don't think -- and they can give me some-
thing to deaden the pain when I get out there," Chesney
said. "I also have to have a doctor standing by should
something give, but I'm going to tape it up, and I'm go-
ing to get out there."

Songwriter Charged
In Death of Former SNL Star's Father
Nashville songwriter Richard Fagan was charged with
criminal homicide on Monday morning (April 28) in the
death of Gaetano Thomas "Tommy" Oteri, 69, father of
former Saturday Night Live cast member Cheri Oteri.
The victim, who was Fagan's manager, music publisher
and roommate, was found stabbed to death inside their
Nashville home on Sunday night (April 27). According
to police, Fagan, 61, and Oteri got into a fight
inside the residence around 9 p.m. Saturday. At 10:45
p.m., Fagan was arrested for DUI in another area of
Nashville and admitted drinking six shots of alcohol.
He was bonded out of jail at 2:15 p.m. Sunday. Around
the same time, a mutual friend who had been told of
the fight by Fagan, reported to police that the screen
door to the home was locked, the house appeared to be
in disarray and Oteri was not responding to the door.
Police arrested Fagan at his bail bondsman's office.
Fagan wrote two No. 1 hit songs, "Be My Baby Tonight"
and "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)," for
John Michael Montgomery. His credits include Clay
Walker's "Only on Days That End in 'Y'" and
Montgomery's "I Miss You a Little," both Top 10 hits,
and other songs recorded by George Strait, Hank
Williams Jr., Neil Diamond, Shania Twain and others.
Fagan is being held without bond.
