 -- Loretta Lynn is beginning rehabilitation more than a week after she had a stroke at her Tennessee home.

The country legend moved from a hospital facility to rehabilitation, and is "doing great," according to a statement posted to her website.

However, the statement added that Lynn's upcoming shows are still going to be postponed at the behest of her doctors.

"Loretta, who just celebrated her 85th birthday, has been advised by her doctors to stay off the road while she is recuperating," the statement explained.
