The  51-year-old "Three Wooden Crosses" singer is listed in critical condition. Viral cardiomyopathy is a heart condition caused by a virus.

Travis has had a number of incidents in the past few years including his threats to shoot state troopers in Grayson County, Texas in 2012 after he walked naked into a convenience store and demanded cigarettes. He also had a fight in 2012 wth his fiancee's ex-husband in a Plano, Texas church parking lot. In recent months, however, he’d pledged to give up drinking and he looked revitalized at the 2013 CMT Music Awards in June according to A Taste Of Country.

Travis was scheduled to perform in Deadwood, South Dakota on Wednesday according to his website.
