Mark Chesnutt is once again dealing with some health issues. You might remember that the iconic ’90s country singer was forced to put his music career on hold late last year after he was rushed to the hospital just before he was set to perform in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on October 16. Chesnutt was there to open for Alabama when he fell ill and had to be rushed to the Baton Rouge General Hospital. Upon arrival, doctors discovered that the country music artist was suffering from a low sodium count and dangerously high blood pressure. Chesnutt stayed in the hospital for a couple of days to get those things straightened out, and when his condition allowed for him to travel, he went home to Texas to recover. Later that month, Chesnutt took to his social media to let everyone know that he was feeling better, and would return to touring in November. Things were going well for the ’90s star up until a scheduled performance this past weekend. The country singer got up on stage at the Oxford Performing Arts Center in Alabama this past Thursday and only made it through three songs before he had to end his show early. Chesnutt walked off the stage, and fans in attendance soon found out that he wouldn’t be coming back. The Alabama venue communicated to fans that they’d be working to reschedule the “Too Cold At Home” singer for a future date, and that those who weren’t able to attend the make-up date would be refunded. The venue shared the following on Facebook: “Mark Chesnutt Concert Update: Due to sudden illness, the artist was unable to complete tonight’s performance. We are hopeful to reschedule the concert and share a new date soon. All current ticket holders will be contacted with additional details. Those who are unable to attend the rescheduled performance will have the option to receive a full refund. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding. Situations like this are extremely rare at the Oxford Performing Arts Center, and we are grateful for the kindness shown by our patrons this evening. More information will be sent directly to ticket holders soon. Thank you!” The 62-year-old is believed to be dealing with something minor sickness, as a number of commenters who attended the show noted that he sounded under the weather, but whatever the health issue, it was serious enough to cancel the shows he had scheduled for Friday (in Augusta, Georgia) and Saturday (in North Carolina). And we do hope that Chesnutt is just a bit under the weather, because he’s been dealing with a handful of health issues over the past couple of years. In addition to the incident that he faced in late 2025, the singer suffered some sort of issue with his heart, and had no choice but to undergo an emergency quadruple bypass surgery in June of 2024. Chesnutt was hospitalized following the surgery – which was successful – and put out a statement at the time about having to cancel upcoming shows: “It is with a heavy heart that I announce the cancellation of my upcoming shows. I send my love and gratitude to my family and friends, the band and fans for your understanding, prayers and support, and look forward to seeing you all again soon at a honky tonk near you.” The country music artist had always been open about his health struggles prior to the surgery, but never disclosed what exactly he was dealing with. Chesnutt was also hospitalized back in late 2023 and had to postpone shows that he had scheduled then as well. We here at Whiskey Riff just hope that the country star that brought the world 14 number one hits, including “Bubba Shot the Jukebox” and “Goin’ Through the Big D,” can get his health back into a place where he can continue to share his gift with his fans.
