Country singer Lyle Lovett was rushed to the hospital yesterday after he was attacked by a bull at his uncle's farm.

Lyle and Uncle Calvin were out on the ranch when the bull flipped his 67-year-old uncle. Lyle went out to try and help his uncle when the bull attacked him.

After an emergency surgery at the Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas, the actor/singer is doing just fine. His worst injury came with two broken bones in his right leg and a fractured thumb. Uncle Calvin suffered minor rib injuries.

Lyle was married to sweetie Julia Roberts for two years in the mid-nineties. They met while filming The Player together.
