Singer Jason Aldean ends concert, dashes offstage due to medical emergency

Jason Aldean’s concert came to an abrupt end after the singer showed obvious distress on stage Saturday night during his US tour.

Jason Aldean’s concert came to an abrupt end after the singer showed obvious distress on stage Saturday night in Connecticut.

While performing at the Xfinity Theatre in Hartford, Aldean struggled to get through his song Crazy Town. In the middle of his performance, he retreated from the microphone to cough.

Trying to power through, Aldean could barely sing another line of his song before he ran offstage.

The country star did not return.

#JasonAldean runs off stage at the #xfinitytheatre show in #HartfordCT. Poor guy. It was hotter than hell. It was bad enough just standing in the pit. I can’t imagine performing in jeans, boots, and hat under all those lights in that humidity with no breeze. Hope he’s okay! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/upwFybMjvS

The next morning, the concert venue tweeted out a statement regarding the incident.

“Yesterday’s Jason Aldean show will be rescheduled for a future date. We appreciate your patience as we work on rescheduling a new date, as well as the outpouring of well wishes for Jason. A rep has confirmed he is now doing well after experiencing heat stroke during last night’s performance.”

A representative for Aldean confirmed the news to Fox News Digital.

Prior to his performance, Aldean’s wife, Brittany shared on Instagram that she would be joining her husband on his Highway Desperado tour next weekend, along with their children. He is scheduled to play two shows in Ohio next Thursday and Friday.

Jason Aldean stops his show …

… and runs off stage suddenly.

The comment section was flooded with regard for Aldean, with fans extending their well-wishes. “Hoping Jason is OK. We were at the show in Hartford. Sending love & prayers,” one user wrote. “Is he OK? At the Hartford show-that was scary,” another commented.

A flood warning was in effect last night in the area while Aldean was performing, with temperatures in the mid-80s.

Aldean later posted a video message on social media, thanking fans for their well wishes ahead of his next scheduled performance in Saratoga Springs, New York.

“I was playing golf all day yesterday, then got to the show, and I think it was a combination of dehydration and heat exhaustion. It was pretty intense last night at the show – anyone who was there knew how hot it was.”

“It’s not how I wanted the show to end … I had a couple of IVs, one last night and one today. Thank you guys for checking in, and we’ll see you tonight.”
