12/17/2007 Stephen L. Betts   If you happen to see Kenny Chesney in Nashville sporting a sling on his arm, don’t be alarmed. Kenny’s management says it's nothing serious. According to People magazine, a source tells them Kenny underwent a “minor procedure to his shoulder” to treat pain resulting from an “active lifestyle” and that he is recovering nicely. Kenny’s active lifestyle is certainly reflected in the fact that he’s been named Billboard's Top Country Tour of 2007. Grossing more than $71 million dollars and drawing in excess of 1.1 million fans, the singer’s Flip Flop Summer tour ranks fourth overall this year behind reunion tours from legendary bands the Police and Genesis and pop star Justin Timberlake. Country Aircheck/Mediabase also recently named Kenny Top Performer of the Year as the single most heard artist in the country format. With four songs in the magazine's 2007 Top 100, Kenny spent a total of 14 weeks at No. 1 this year.
