Doug Stone
 Doug Stone from Atlanta, Georgia, has recorded at least nine studio albums, in addition to charting twenty-two singles (five of which reached Number One) on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts.
Stone has, however, unfortunately become known for his numerous problems as much as his music. In the spring of 1992, Stone had found that one of the arteries in his heart was almost entirely blocked, and underwent quadruple bypass surgery. He suffered a nearly-fatal heart attack in December of 1995; Also in the mid-1990s, Stone suffered a mild stroke, further reducing his ability to record and tour.
Stone signed to Atlantic Records in 1999, and the same year, the singer survived a plane crash at O'Hare Airport in Chicago. In 2000, he suffered a broken left ankle and a cracked rib after crashing his ultralight plane in Robertson County, Tennessee, and was briefly hospitalized before he resumed touring.
In 2005 he signed to an independent label, and also that year, the singer was sentenced to six months in jail for failing to pay alimony and child support.
