The 54-year-old country music star addressed fans from his hospital bed this week.

Colt Ford performs during the Take It Outside Tour 2016 at Lakewood Amphitheatre on Friday, August 26, 2016, in Atlanta. The 54-year-old star collapsed following a show in Arizona in early April, and he has been in a hospital there recovering ever since. And, for a while, the reports coming back from the hospital were ominous.But Ford was finally strong enough to break his silence, albeit from his hospital bed, this week.

Toby Keith was among country music’s richest singers. Here’s where his net worth ranked in the top 10 Ford said he had just stepped back onto his tour bus after performing at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row bar in Mesa, Arizona when he texted his fiancée, ‘Hi baby.’”Ford said that, luckily, his band came out to check on him and found him. And, he said, country music star Brantley Gilbert got involved in getting him to the hospital and, eventually, making sure he was switched to another hospital when the one they were at didn’t have the correct equipment to deal with Ford’s heart situation.
