Ford suffered a heart attack last week
Colt Ford remains in an Arizona ICU, with his condition steadily improving in a positive direction following a heart attack he suffered after a show at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in Gilbert, Arizona on April 4th. At this time, his family is requesting privacy and appreciates your continued thoughts and prayers.
Ford is a multi-platinum singer-songwriter hailing from Athens, Georgia. Along with several No. 1 hits, he originally recorded Jason Aldean’s “Dirt Road Anthem,” which has garnered over 927 million worldwide streams.
Last summer, the country music pioneer released Must Be The Country, a 24-track collection featuring collaborations with Tracy Lawrence, Brantley Gilbert, Sam Grow, Tracy Byrd, and more. The project was released on his Average Joes Entertainment and marked his first full-length project in three years.
The album took shape while battling eye cancer and recovering from an intensive surgery to remove the tumor. Following his successful fight against cancer, Ford had been diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disorder that destroys neuromuscular connections and affects the muscles in the face. Despite his recent struggle with personal health, Ford has exhibited his enduring human spirit and continues to tour the nation and write and record new projects.
