The eight-time Grammy winner fell in his home last week before transferring to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem and underwent colon surgery.
Watson was a lifelong Watauga native, and despite gaining national recognition for his music, he wanted to remain in the Watauga community.
In lieu of flowers, senior history major and musician Matthew Weaver placed a guitar pick on the statue.
