Country singer John Michael Montgomery says he's "recovering" from injuries suffered when his tour bus overturned Friday in Jellico, Tennessee, on the way to a concert appearance in North Carolina.
The 57-year-old vocalist behind songs including 1995's "I Can Love You Like That" and "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)" revealed on his verified Facebook page that he and other passengers were hurt in the crash.
"Despite some cuts and broken ribs, I am doing well. I will take some time over the next couple of weeks to heal and be back on the road soon," he wrote. "I am grateful to the medics and highway patrol for their quick response to this difficult situation. Thanks to everyone for their concerns."

William Salyer of Staffordsville, Kentucky, and Marc Wood of Frankfort, Kentucky, suffered injuries along with Montgomery. The singer also thanked East Tennessee highway patrol officers and paramedics for a "quick response" to the situation.

Montgomery's upcoming tour dates included a now-removed Sept. 17 appearance in New Braunfels, Texas.
Tennessee Highway Patrol's report states that Montgomery's 2001 Prevost Featherlite bus was traveling south of Jellico on Interstate 75 when it veered off the road. The vehicle overturned after striking an embankment. Salyer was the only passenger not wearing a seatbelt.
Montgomery, a Danville, Kentucky, native, recently joined his son, Waker, and another Kentuckian, American Idol Season 20 winner Noah Thompson, on the Kentucky State Fairgrounds' Texas Roadhouse concert stage.
"Thank you, Kentucky State Fair, for a great night. Nothing better than being home and sharing the stage with (my son)," he said.
Montgomery's brother Eddie was half of the iconic country duo Montgomery Gentry. The bus accident came almost exactly five years after Troy Gentry, the other half of the group, died in a helicopter crash on the way to a 2017 concert in New Jersey.
Montgomery's daughter, Madison, is set to wed country artist Travis Denning in 2023.
