Country Star Hospitalized for Heart Attack After Concert

Colt Ford has had a string of health issues over the past few years including a battle with eye cancer and being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2022.

Country music singer Colt Ford suffered a heart attack after his concert in Arizona Thursday night, according to 12News. Ford, 53, had just finished his show at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in Gilbert, Arizona when the incident happened. He was rushed to Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa where he is in the Intensive Care Unit. The outlet said he was in stable but critical condition. It is the latest in a string of health issues for the country music star after being diagnosed with eye cancer three years ago and also battling autoimmune disease Myasthenia Gravis. He released his last album, Must Be The Country, in 2023 and in May told Taste of Country that he was taking better care of himself. “I’ve gotten in a lot better shape, and I just feel great. My life is in a great place. I’m getting married in October. I found my person. And I’m just as happy and excited as I’ve been about music, which is kind of hard to believe. I feel like I’m not even making my best music.”
