Speaking of Bullish Country singer Lyle Lovett trampled by bull March 28, 2002 Posted: 2:36 PM EST (1936 GMT) HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- Grammy-winning singer Lyle Lovett was in good condition Wednesday after being trampled by a bull, a hospital spokeswoman said. Lovett, 44, was taken by ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where doctors spent three hours repairing a fracture to his right leg, said spokeswoman Beth Sartori. In a release, the Tomball Regional Hospital said Lovett was injured on his uncle's farm in suburban Houston. In its Thursday edition, the Houston Chronicle reported Lovett's uncle, Calvin Klein, was flipped by the bull while working on his farm. Lovett saw what happened, went to help, and was trampled by the animal. Klein, suffering from chest pain trauma, was later taken to Tomball. All tests were clear. Lovett underwent surgery on his lower right leg to reconstruct the bone, which was broken in several places, said Sartori. "It's a bad injury," Dr. Kevin Coupe, who performed the surgery, told the Chronicle. Twenty pieces of bone were broken in his leg, he told the paper. Lovett may remain in the hospital for three days and a full recovery may take at least six months, he said. Lovett, a native Texan, has also acted in several movies, including "Cookie's Fortune," "Prêt-à-Porter" and "The Player." It was while filming "The Player" that Lovett met actress Julia Roberts, to whom he was married from 1993-95. His albums include "Joshua Judges Ruth," "Pontiac," "Lyle Lovett and His Large Band," and "I Love Everybody."
