While it seemed that Travis might not be able to sing again, he pulled through. At his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016, he stunned the audience with a beautiful cover of “Amazing Grace.” He even made an appearance for his 60th birthday at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, where he participated in a group cover of his hit song, “Forever and Ever, Amen.”
Mary Travis told ET Canada that the struggles that the couple has endured has only brought them closer.
“You learn to love each other and adore each other in a way that was far beyond what we thought was possible,” Mary Travis said. “There wasn’t anything that was going to tear us apart. As much as I already loved this man, going through those six months in the hospital it was just an adoration for his fight and a respect for the warrior that was in there.”
Travis has seven Grammy Awards, six CMA Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Now, it seems that he’s found true happiness with his wife, Mary. She’s his biggest fan and always champions him and his enduring legacy.
“What I’ve learned about him is that he hadn’t forgotten anything, but the world will never forget him either,” Mary told TODAY.
