Country Star Colt Ford ‘Died Twice’ After Heart Attack

Country music singer Colt Ford is still walking among the living despite a recent health scare in which he claimed he “died two times” while on the way to the emergency room.

The New York Post reported on Ford’s latest interview about the “traumatic, crazy experience” on the “Big D & Bubba” podcast. “I didn’t even remember coming out here to do a show in Phoenix, and apparently we played this great, sold-out show and it was incredible,” Ford said in a phone interview, adding the close calls with death came while an ambulance transported him to the emergency room. “I walked back to the bus, texted my fiancée, ‘Hi baby,’ and fell over dead. I died two times. Luckily, my band came out to check on me. … All of a sudden, that’s when all hell broke loose.”

Ford 54, had just finished a show in Arizona at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row when his rep told Fox News that the singer required medical attention. After reaching the hospital, Ford remained in “stable, but critical condition in the ICU.” As he was being transferred from one ER to another, he told the show hosts he “died on the way over” but that medics “brought me back, saved my life.” Afterward, Ford later texted his fiancé “I don’t remember anything.”

He is grateful for his second, and third, leases on life. “The Lord had more for me to do, more music for me to make, hopefully more differences to make in some people’s lives,” he said, adding one doctor told him, “I wouldn’t have given you 1%, I would have given you 0.1% that you would have survived.”

“I had so much trauma to my body and my heart, they had to put three stents in,” Ford said.  “There’s just so much going on, and then all of a sudden my gall bladder crapped out on me.” The “Slow Ride” singer said the response from his fan base has been tremendous. “The overwhelming support and love I have felt … I get emotional talking about it. I have been an emotional wreck since I’ve been in here,” he said.

He sounded the same message in a video to his fans posted on X the day of the scare. “Thank y’all for the prayers, comments, the love, the messages. I got a long way to go, but I promise you this old country boy will get back. It probably won’t be this year, and I hate I’ve gotta miss all these shows, but I’m coming back. I love you guys so much,” he said.

“It’s been life-changing. It’s been spiritually changing. Obviously, it’s been physically changing. It’s just been a crazy. … I’m not still a hundred percent out of the woods yet. I’m gonna have to learn how to be a little selfish for a while before I get myself better. This changed my perspective and outlook on lots of things. Live every day like it’s your last because one day it will be,” he added.

In addition to some lifestyle changes, Ford said he is looking to come back “bigger and stronger and better than ever.”
