The country music community has rallied around Colt Ford as he continues his recovery from a recent heart attack.
Following his performance at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row bar in Mesa, Arizona, the 54-year-old was rushed to the hospital in what was initially described as a "grim" situation. However, there has been gradual improvement in Ford’s condition, bringing hope to his fans and friends alike.
Charlie Rymer, a Golf Channel analyst and friend of Ford’s, shared an encouraging update on X, noting that Ford is in good spirits despite the challenges he's facing. Rymer emphasized Ford's need for patience as he recuperates, thanking everyone for their prayers and support.
Fans responded with an outpouring of well-wishes, expressing relief at the positive update and pledging to continue praying for Ford's recovery. Amidst the ongoing support, Ford's friends have consistently urged fans to keep him in their thoughts.
Just last week, Rymer had shared the progress Ford had made since the incident, highlighting the initial dire circumstances and the subsequent improvement in Ford's condition. The update brought a sense of relief to many who had been following Ford's health journey.
Ford, known for his collaborations with artists like Toby Keith, Jamey Johnson, and Jason Aldean, has faced health challenges in the past, including battles with Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disease, and eye cancer, which required surgery three years ago. Despite these hardships, Ford has shown resilience and strength.
As a former professional golfer turned country music artist, Ford has released eight studio albums over the years, with his most recent release, "Must Be Country," coming out in 2023. Throughout his career, Ford has garnered a dedicated fanbase who continue to rally behind him during this challenging time.
