Sarah Evans In Crutches After Tour Bus Fall

Sara Evans is walking with crutches following a leg injury while on tour.

The 'You'll Always Be My Baby' songstress said she suffered pain after taking a spill on her tour bus. She explained the Oct 3 incident to the photo sharing platform.

"Just another day on tour," she wrote to her Instagram account. "Last night I fell down the bus steps and today my knee is HUGE and I'm crying in pain! Just left doc. Pray for my show tonight."  

Along with the message is a pic, showing she is walking with crutches while visiting a doctor.

Apparently she made it at the Bloomsburg Fair in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania on Saturday night. She managed to perform without her crutches.

Meanwhile, she is reportedly recovering and preparing for her next tour in November and December.

The country singer also made a headline recently after she responded to Keith Hill's comments comparing female vocalists in the genre to tomatoes and suggesting that radio station should play less female singers if they want to increase their ratings.

"I'm really glad Keith made that statement, because we women of country music have been talking about and dealing with this for the past five to seven years, and I don't really know what happened," Evans told the Billboard. "As a female artist, we have seen it get harder and harder to get played on the radio -- almost to the point that we feel that we have no genre anymore. They just will not play women. It's so ridiculous." She then went on saying it's frustrating to know that country format has becoming narrow.

Evans then noted the difference in the marketplace of before and today. She recalled the time when Reba McEntire, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, the Dixie Chicks, Lee Ann Womack and LeAnn Rimes were making huge hits but all of a sudden, radio stations weren't playing female vocalists anymore and she currently has to suffer the same issue.

She continued, "Country music would not be what it is without women. If you're not going to play women, you're going to have to call it another genre or split it up and give females somewhere to release music."
