Not even a heart attack - and clinically being dead three times - can slow down Colt Ford. Though Ford spent most of 2024 recovering after he suffered a heart attack last April, he's ready to get back on the road in 2025. Colt had just walked off stage after a sold-out show at the Gilbert, Arizona, location of Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row when he collapsed after suffering a heart attack. The singer/songwriter was rushed to Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona, where he was considered to be in critical condition in the hospital's intensive care unit. Weeks after the scary incident, the 54-year-old spoke publicly for the first time on the Big D & Bubba Show, detailing the scary event while he was still in the hospital: “It’s just been a traumatic, crazy experience, guys. I don’t even remember coming out here to do a show in Phoenix. I died three times. Luckily, my band came out to check on me…they came out to check on me, and then all of a sudden they were like, ‘Oh God,’ and then that is when all hell broke loose.” This Mayo Clinic out here in Phoenix, if it was going to happen, God could not have had me in a better place. The big doc out here said, ‘I wouldn’t give me 1%, but I give you 0.1% that you’d survive.' They brought me back. They saved my life. The Lord had more for me to do.” That "more" that Colt Ford was alluding to there seems to be getting kicked off with some tour dates for 2025. The country singer, who has eight studio albums under his belt, is getting back on the road with his band after their 2024 was cut short because of the terrifying medical incident. And Colt Ford was always planning to get back into the swing of things, even while he was still in the hospital last year a month after his heart attack. Here's a message he shared while still in his hospital gown and a wheel chair: “Hey guys, it’s Colt here. I am fighting so hard every day to get back to my family, my friends…my fans. I love y’all so much. I got my a** out of bed and, with the help of some wonderful nurses, got in a wheelchair. They brought me outside so I could feel a little sun on my face. First time in a long time…it feels good. I still got a long way to go, but if you think I ain’t coming back…bet against me. See what happens.” https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6rfSNiODT4/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=f1b91b44-4b2b-4691-85f4-f481847ed13b Did anyone bet against him? Nope? Didn't think so. Sure enough, Colt Ford took to his Instagram earlier this week to share that he's feeling great and he's heading back on the road this year. In the clip, the country singer looks health and energetic as he shares the exciting news with his fan base: "What's up y'all? It's your boy Colt Ford. 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. I’ll see y’all on the road." https://www.instagram.com/p/DFHDKc9xvQ-/ There are no official tour dates announced just yet (other than Ford playing the Country Concert 25 in Fort Loramie, Ohio in July), but fans will surely be at the ready to go out and support the "Country Must Be Country Wide" singer.
