Mark Chesnutt is getting a fresh start after undergoing emergency heart surgery this month.

On Tuesday, the “Brother Jukebox” singer shared a health update on social media and thanked his followers for their unwavering support.

“Well folks, doc says I got a new heart!,” the caption read. “I’m recovering comfortably at home with my family. Today we sat on the porch just soaking in the sun and that beautiful Texas weather. But I can’t wait to get back to pickin’ and singin’ with all my favorite fans! Thank you for all the well-wishes and prayers. They have helped and meant the world to me in my time of need. I appreciate you all so very much. See yuh soon!”

It is unclear whether Chesnutt had a heart transplant. A representative for the country singer did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s inquiry.

Last week, the 60-year-old country music star was hospitalized before undergoing emergency quadruple bypass surgery, according to an Instagram post shared by his team.

“Mark Chesnutt, one of the most signatured country music voices of the 90s and a honky tonk mainstay for more than three decades, experienced a heart health issue over the weekend that hospitalized him Sunday evening, June 16; Mark underwent emergency quadruple bypass surgery,” the post read.
