Ronnie Dunn Clears The Air On Recent Hospital Visit: “Went To Vanderbilt… Struggled A Bit Last Week”

A video posted by Brooks & Dunn got a lot of country music fans concerned over the weekend. The legendary country music duo behind hits like “Neon Moon” and “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” has been out on the road in support of Morgan Wallen for much of the early summer. They’ve got a couple more dates with the country music superstar (July 17 in Baltimore and July 31 in Philadelphia) before they go back to their own tour and play in front of die hard Brooks & Dunn fans. They might often be called 90s country stars, but they are still as big as ever in 2026. That being said, Brooks & Dunn are having to deal with Father Time just like the rest of us. Kix Brooks is 71, and Ronnie Dunn turned 73 back in June. The country music icons have gotten older, and they are doing their best to not let that slow them down. A video posted by the duo just a couple of days ago showcases why that’s easier said than done. The clip that was released on Brooks & Dunn’s Facebook page opened with Ronnie Dunn talking about his health, and actually revealing that he had to go to the hospital last week. While he ended up powering through it as best as he could (and many at the concert said they couldn’t tell he was sick), Dunn revealed that he’s actually battling bronchitis: “I don’t feel too good tonight. Went to Vanderbilt yesterday. I struggled a little bit last week. Thought I maybe injured my vocals cords. They said I didn’t, but I’ve got like a touch of bronchitis. They said hydrate, and I’ve been drinking stuff all day, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to pee my pants onstage.” Though bronchitis can be very serious, the way they presented it in this video makes it seem as though Ronnie Dunn is going to be just fine. In fact, he seemed to be worried about the unwanted side effect of staying hydrated… and from what we can tell, the country music legend didn’t end up peeing his pants while he was on stage. The above post makes light of the whole situation, but country music fans are certainly hoping that Ronnie Dunn keeps a close eye on his condition and doesn’t try to tough his way through it. The comment section of the post was filled with fans and followers wishing the best for Ronnie, and encouraging the country singer to get some rest: “Take care of yourself, sir!” “Feel better soon cowboy. Bronchitis sucks.” “Hope you get to feeling better, Ronnie.” “Get some rest.” “Bronchitis can be serious, but the way you updated made me laugh. Ain’t nobody not got time for dat.” The good news is that Brooks & Dunn have a lighter tour schedule for the rest of July and August before they ramp up in September for two straight months of shows all across the country (including Nashville on September 12 and Fort Worth on October 9 and 10). Here’s to hoping Ronnie Dunn gets back to 100% so he and Kix are ready to tackle their fall schedule.The post Ronnie Dunn Clears The Air On Recent Hospital Visit: “Went To Vanderbilt… Struggled A Bit Last Week” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
