Jason Curry, Fisk University's Dean of the Chapel, picked up Young and a colleague from Young's foundation at a local airport on the day before the speaking engagement. Curry said he received a text early Sunday morning that Young wasn't feeling well and would be unable to speak.
The 86-year-old was initially admitted to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville before transferring to Emory in Atlanta.
Since then, he has been released from the hospital.
