Colt Ford was hospitalized in Mesa, Arizona, after suffering a heart attack at a venue in Gilbert. Ford was rushed to the ICU Banner Desert Medical Center, where he is currently being treated.
Ford was finishing up a performance at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row when he suffered the heart attack. As of yet, no announcements have been made regarding future shows, including his upcoming performance in New Mexico tonight.
Ford has had a few health complications over the past few years. This includes eye cancer and an autoimmune disease known as Myasthenia Gravis.
The disorder “affects the muscles in your face, eyes, and throat. It hadn’t affected my throat, but it really affected my eye. I had no control over my right eye. It really messes with your vision. I could see perfectly out of either eye, but then I would look together, and I’d see three of you, and you would be melting together like a lava lamp,” Ford told Taste of Country in 2023.
