Chris Young had a pretty big health scare earlier this month, when an infection in his leg required quick surgery and for him to sit out a few tour dates. It was said to be some sort of bacterial issue, but the singer has revealed a very simple, surprising cause of the problem -- one that many of his fans likely deal with on a daily basis.

At his Shoreline Amphitheater gig in Mountain View, Calif. on Thursday (Aug. 22), Brad Paisley had a few special guests, among them classic rocker John Fogerty and tourmate Chris Young, who is recovering from a leg infection and surgery which caused him to table a few gigs.

Chris Young's leg infection could have triggered something much more serious had doctors not intervened. The singer was treated in Denver last week after falling ill during a flight. Doctors performed emergency surgery to remove the infection after he began to go into septic shock.

Chris Young has returned home after four days in a Denver, Colo. area hospital.

Chris Young spent part of Thursday (Aug. 15) in the Intensive Care Unit at a hospital near Denver, Colo., but by nightfall he'd been moved to a normal room, where he is on the mend. Throughout the last 24 hours, the 'Aw Naw' singer has been tweeting to fans ... and Brad Paisley.

Chris Young is in a Denver-area hospital seeking treatment for a leg infection. The origin of the infection is not known, but the 'Aw Naw' singer will be spending the next 24 hours under medical watch.
