Great news for fans of Loretta Lynn. The Coal Miner's Daughter is on the rebound.

According to an announcement on her website, Lynn has been released from a Bowling Green, Ky, hospital after being treated for bacterial pneumonia and is now resting comfortably back at her home in Hurricane, Tenn.

"It was one scary night…But I am feeling better and just gonna take it easy for a couple of weeks," the 76-year-old country songbird said in a statement.

Lynn's camp revealed the ailment on Saturday, prompting the country legend to postpone two shows this weekend in Ashland, Ky., and Durham, N.C.

"Around 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning, Loretta awoke on her tour bus complaining that she was having a hard time breathing," said her rep, adding that it was a "fighting weekend" that sent her to the emergency room.

No word yet when she'll make up the missed concerts, but Lynn's scheduled to resume her tour with a performance in Knoxville, Tenn., on Nov. 3.

We wish her a speedy recovery.
