His representative said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital that the 53-year-old had recently played a show at Dierks Bently\u2019s Whiskey Row. His representative added, \u201cHe is currently in stable but critical condition in the ICU.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cSlow Ride\u201d singer is in the intensive care unit at the Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona. He was scheduled to perform at the Star of the Desert Arena in Primm, Nevada. Along with several No.1 hits, Ford originally recorded Jason Aldean\u2019s \u201cDirt Road Anthem,\u201d which has garnered over 927 million streams worldwide. Ford, born Jason Farris Brown, became known for his unique ability to blend rap and country genres. He\u2019s the only artist to have a No. 1 album on Billboard Top Country Albums (\u201cDeclaration of Independence\u201d) and\u00a0Top Rap Albums\u00a0(\u201cThanks for Listening\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The former professional golfer has since collaborated with Jake Owen, Jamey Johnson, Dillon Carmichael and Brantley Gilbert.

Please heal any sickness in his body so that he can go back to his family and the life he lived. Please keep his family close to Your heart as they wait patiently by his side for him to be released from the hospital. We thank You in advance for Colt\u2019s healing and know that You are able. In Jesus\u2019 name, we pray, amen. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Country musician Colt Ford is in critical condition after suffering a heart attack following a performance in Gilbert, Arizona.
