The country music world has been hit hard by tragedy this year with at least 20 performers and figures having died.Several more stars have recently announced they are battling serious health issues, and a couple of those — Mark Chesnutt and Colt Ford — are lucky to be alive.Country star had emergency heart surgery. Here’s what we know
It was a welcomed sign for fans of the country star, and incredible to see his positive energy so soon after such a serious operation. “Louis did you do some?” he said nodding to his dog, who was laying with him on a couch. “His tail is wagging. He did walk from the bedroom to the couch. Didn’t you Louis?”“We love you guys,” he said. “I’m trying to get better every day. I’m trying to get back. I miss y’all so much. Have a great weekend, and a happy fourth. Love y’all.”
Ford had just stepped back onto his tour bus after performing at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row bar when he texted his fiancée, ‘Hi baby.’”Ford said that, luckily, his band came out to check on him and found him. And, he said, country music star Brantley Gilbert got involved in getting him to the hospital and, eventually, making sure he was switched to another hospital when the one they were at didn’t have the correct equipment to deal with Ford’s heart situation.
Malo, 58, said that is what he did. “And that led to another appointment with a gastrointestinal specialist, which led to a CAT scan,” he said. “And that proved to show two cancerous spots.”“The reason I’m telling you all this, one of the reasons I’m telling you all this is that some of the shows may be effected this year as we navigate this situation and see how the therapy goes,” he said.
