LASHUN PACE “ONE OF THE GREATEST VOICES IN GOSPEL MUSIC” RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL AND SET TO RESUME MUSIC MINISTRY

Stellar-Award winning gospel artist LaShun Pace has been released from an Atlanta medical center after undergoing a successful heart procedure. Despite rumors and hearsay, Pace is doing well and has been cleared by her physician to resume concert dates.

Pace was released from the hospital a week after her surgery and was instructed by her medical team to cease all travel until she was able to fully recuperate. She is scheduled to minister in song in New York City, Washington, DC, Memphis and Philadelphia in the coming weeks.

“I’m doing very well and I look forward to ministering to God’s people in song again,” Pace said from her Atlanta home. “I just really want to thank my medical staff, Atlanta Heart Association and many, many thanks to all my well-wishers and supporters. It’s great to know people care about you and appreciate your ministry. I feel really good and thank God for His blessings.”

The good news is that Pace’s heart condition is treatable with proper nutrition and exercise. She has had a small device placed under her skin to help control heart rhythms. This device uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate.

“What I have is a treatable condition that requires me to eat more healthier selections and incorporate more exercise in my daily routine,” she says, adding that she has experienced little to no side effects from the procedure. In addition to loving friends and family helping to boost her incredible spirit, Pace of course has her music and has been inspired during the entire process.

About LaShun Pace
Pace had her beginnings in the mid-seventies in a singing group formed with her siblings, the renowned Anointed Pace Sisters. The phenomenal siblings gained popularity first in Atlanta and then internationally, gaining the greatest recognition with 1992’s U-Know. LaShun Pace launched her solo career in 1991 with He Lives, a debut that was among the top ten gospel albums of the year.

Over the next decade, Pace went on to record six more acclaimed albums – Shekinah Glory, Wealthy Place, Just Because God Said It, God is Faithful, It’s My Time and Complete – earning numerous industry awards including two of gospel’s coveted Stellar Awards.

The singer/producer/songwriter/author/evangelist now adds author to her long list of credits. After a series of life altering experiences, Pace wrote her autobiography: For My God But For His Glory.

Pace is now accepting speaking, concerts, ministry and workshop dates for 2009. For booking information and interview requests, please call 202-903-4373 or email Ebony at singlashun@aol.com.
