Country music star set to tour after heart stopped twice
Colt Ford is ready to start touring again.
The country music singer, who had to be revived twice after a heart attack last year, took to social media to let his fans know he is ready to hit the road.
“What’s up y’all, it’s your boy Colt Ford,” he said in a video he posted. “Y’all come check me out. I’m going to be back out on the road this year. The devil couldn’t keep me down baby.”
Fort has already performed on stage with Brantley Gilbert in September.
In April, Ford told “Big D & Bubba” he’d just got back to his bus and texted his fiancée as the heart attack began. He’s been in intensive care since the incident and has canceled shows through August.
According to Taste and Country, Ford said he died “multiple times.”
“I had so much trauma in my body and my heart, I had to have three stents put in,” he said.
Doctors, per the report, told him he had a 0.1 percent chance of living, and all methods used to keep him alive were used. In addition, his gallbladder failed.
