Fans are curious to know what happened to Colt Ford, a popular songwriter who recently faced a tragic incident that he has no memory of. While he is doing alright currently, he has provided more details on the incident and about his health condition.
What happened to Colt Ford?
Colt Ford is a 53-year-old songwriter and rapper whose music has been popular among devoted fans, especially in the country music genre. Last month, he performed at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in Gilbert, Arizona, which went really well, but shockingly he suffered a heart attack soon afterward. The rapper deemed the whole experience “traumatic” and “crazy” and said he died twice that day.
He revealed that he came out of the show, about to catch his bus, and texted his fiancee, after which he collapsed suddenly. All thanks to his bandmates, who arrived at the right time to check on him and immediately hospitalized him. As per diagnosis, Ford had a heart attack and was taken into the ICU, where his condition was critical. He claims that he has no memory of what happened after he texted his fiance.
Following this horrific incident, the Back singer woke up a few days later. That’s when he received more traumatic news of his fewer chances of survival and that his gallbladder had “crapped out.”

Recently, he took to Instagram to share a few words for his fans and express his gratitude. He said, “I just want to tell you guys, thank y’all for all the prayers, the love, the comments, the messages. I got a long way to go, but I promise you this ol’ country boy will get back. It probably won’t be this year, and I hate I gotta miss all these shows, but I’m coming back.”
After this, he also uploaded one more video while sitting in a wheelchair outside. He revealed that he is grateful for his fans’ support although it is tough to get back. Colt added that now he “feels good” and would be taking some time to get back on his feet.
