Pat Green canceled a New Year’s Eve concert after undergoing an emergency appendectomy, a concert promoter said.

The 35-year-old country singer was in good condition Thursday after being admitted to a Dallas-area hospital on Wednesday, said Greg Henry, president of Austin Universal Entertainment.

Doctors advised Green to cancel the show as well as several days of planned studio work in Nashville, Tenn., Henry said in a story posted Thursday on the Waco Tribune-Herald’s Web site.

Green grew up in Waco and lives in Fort Worth. With a dedicated following in Texas, he has been working to build his fan base around the country. His most recent album, “Cannonball,” was released in August 2006.

Green’s publicist did not immediately return a phone message left late Thursday by The Associated Press.
