Colt is currently being treated in an Arizona hospital
On Thursday, April 4th, country music icon Colt Ford suffered a heart attack after a show in Gilbert, Arizona at Dierks Bently’s Whiskey Row. He is currently under care in the Intensive Care Unit at the Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona.
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.
More updates are to come.
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 had exhibited his enduring human spirit and continues to tour the nation and write and record new projects.
