COUNTRY SINGER KENNY CHESNEY BACK

Country singing star Kenny Chesney "felt great" and has resumed his tour on Thursday after he injured his foot in an onstage accident. Chesney shattered tendons in his foot during a concert in South Carolina last week on machinery that lifted him up up to the stage. After receiving medical treatment, the 40-year-old returned to the stage at Austin's Frank Erwin Center, Texas, to continue his Poets and Pirates tour. He tells People.com, "I had eight shots in my foot (to deaden the pain) and I wasn't sure how it was going to feel."I gotta tell you, once I hit that stage, it felt great."Chesney didn't break any bones because his foot had been protected by his trademark cowboy boots also admits he was happy to continue with his performance despite the injury.He adds, "It happened so fast, I was pretty much in shock during the first two or three songs."I didn't know what was wrong. I knew it was bad, but I didn't know what it was."I feel bad that I didn't get to give the people (in South Carolina) everything I intended to, but I gave 'em everything I had."
