After spending two weeks in a Nashville hospital for treatment of pneumonia, Johnny Cash [ tickets ] was released in good condition on Sunday night, according to a hospital spokesperson.

Cash, 67, was admitted to Baptist Hospital on Oct. 20, spent a few days at home, and was then readmitted on Oct. 24. Though he was initially in serious condition and was using a respirator, his illness was not considered life-threatening.

The country music legend was hospitalized twice for pneumonia in 1998, and he has said that it nearly killed him last fall.

Cash has rarely been seen in public since being diagnosed in late 1997 with Shy-Drager Syndrome, a disorder similar to Parkinson's Disease with symptoms that can include blackouts, slow movement, stiff muscles and mild tremors. According to the National Institutes of Health, Shy-Drager usually ends in death 7 to 10 years after the onset of symptoms. Pneumonia is the most common cause of death of the disease's sufferers.
