Little Richard asks fans for prayers after surgery

Nashville, Tenn. (AP) — Little Richard is asking fans to pray for his speedy recovery after undergoing hip surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.



The Rev. Bill Minson, a family friend, said the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer had been in some pain leading up to the surgery but continued to maintain a rigorous performing schedule.



Minson said the 76-year-old asked him to tell fans, "to get ready to rock 'n' roll with him in the new year because he's coming back strong."



The Macon, Ga., native now lives in Middle Tennessee.
