Lainey Wilson was willing to give up her role in “Yellowstone” while her father, Brian Wilson, was in the hospital. On the “Dutton Rules” podcast, she revealed that the cast was in the middle of filming, but her father was in the ICU fighting for his life. She described how the doctors had a grim prognosis for her father and almost quit the show to stay with him. “He said, ‘I don’t care if it was my funeral. If you got a job that needs to be done, you’d better go do it and not come back until it’s done,'” Wilson recalled. Her father’s advice convinced her to keep going. She continued, “I had to find that courage from a place I had never actually had.”

In October 2022, Wilson shared just how much her father went through in an appearance on “Taste of Country.” She explained, “He spent two months in a hospital from a fungal infection that completely took out the left side of his face. They had to remove his eye, and they had to remove some bones in the face.” He had also suffered a stroke during that time and ultimately required nine surgeries. Thankfully, he came out of the health scare on the other side, and the singer shared that he was doing much better. Following the medical emergency, Wilson’s dad was well enough to accompany her to the ACM Awards — and celebrated her big wins.
