After performing at Dierks Bentley’s Whisky Row in Gilbert, Arizona, 54-year-old country music sensation Colt Ford suffered a heart attack and was admitted to the Banner Desert Medical Center’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
A Ford representative verified the information, disclosing that the celebrity suffered a heart attack after the show. Ford already has a medical history of difficulties, such as an ongoing battle with the autoimmune disease Myasthenia Gravis and a prior battle with eye cancer. This health scare adds to his medical history.
Ford talked about his experience with eye cancer three years ago in an interview, saying that he had surgery right before full chemotherapy started. Ford sought medical attention after noticing a worrying spot on his eye. He eventually received treatment, including chemotherapy drops, which allowed him to resume his musical career.

Ford persevered in his passion for his work in spite of his health difficulties, releasing his most recent album “Must Be The Country” in 2023. The album has collaborations with well-known musicians like Tracy Lawrence, Tracy Byrd, and Dillon Carmichael. He disclosed last year that he had been diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune illness that impairs muscle control, and that he had struggled with his health. He also emphasised the value of self-care.
Ford went into depth about how the illness affected his eyesight and general tiredness. He did, however, convey his thankfulness for his doctor’s treatments, which had greatly improved his condition.
With the release of his debut album “Ride Through the Country” in 2008, Ford embarked on his musical career. Remarkably, he co-wrote and recorded “Dirt Road Anthem” with Brantley Gilbert, a song that Jason Aldean went on to top the charts with in 2011. Furthermore, Ford wrote the Professional Bull Riders association’s theme song, “Buck ’em”.
“Declaration of Independence,” his fourth album, was a huge hit, peaking at number one on the Top Country Albums chart. Ford continues to inspire fans all across the world with his perseverance and commitment to his craft in spite of his health issues.
The music industry supports Ford, offering prayers and best wishes for a quick recovery while his fans wait for information on his condition.
