After Nearly Dying, Country Star Returns from Heart Attack to Tease New Music

While once a professional golfer, Colt Ford found his calling in country music. Outside of releasing eight studio albums, the singer also helped write songs like “Dirt Road Anthem” and “Country Must Be Country Wide.” Working with fellow stars like Jason Aldean and Brantley Gilbert, Ford looked to expand his career when he took the stage in Arizona for a concert. But sadly, tragedy struck when he suffered a heart attack. Although spending the last few months recovering, the star recently hinted that new music could be on the way. 

Since doctors helped save his life, Ford has been extremely open about his recovery on social media. Using his time to update fans and make sure they focus on their health, the singer posted a throwback video to his studio album Declaration of Independence. He captioned the post, writing, “Can’t believe it’s been 12 years of Declaration of Independence… Hope to share new music with Y’all soon!”

With fans thrilled about his health improving, many insisted Ford take it easy and slowly get back to the studio. Although wanting new music from the singer, many fans wanted nothing more than a healthy Ford.

Colt Ford Refuses To Let The Devil Win

In one of his recent updates, Ford explained how his health took a turn for the worse. “Monday, I had this crazy … found out, I had to go to the ER. I had some crazy infection, blew my foot up about three times its normal size, red, I couldn’t even walk on it. They got me some antibiotics and that started helping for the first two days, and then today I woke up, one of my wounds that had been closed for two weeks all of a sudden decides to open up and I bleed everywhere. So, I went back to the ER and got that squared away.”

While staying positive, Ford insisted, “The devil ain’t gonna get me though. Yeah, the setback ain’t as good as the get back. I’ll see y’all soon.” Not ready to end his career in music, it appears Ford is focused on getting healthy and returning to his place on the stage.
