Country music star has another hospital scare after nearly dying earlier this year

Colt Ford's rollercoaster of a year continued this past week when he was forced to make a return trip to the hospital.

The country music star who collapsed with a heart attack and died — twice — after a show back in April with doctors resuscitating him each time, has scrapped his way back and even returned to the stage recently. But Ford posted a concerning video from the hospital on Instagram last week, and he wasn't looking or feeling good.

"Well hell," he said in the video. "Started feeling better, and the devil just don't stop messing with you. Face is all swollen up."

Ford said he was in Indiana and had just finished jumping on stage with Jelly Roll when things took a turn for the worse.

"All of a sudden, they want to put me back in the hospital again," he said. "I swear."

He later posted a photo showing off one of his extremely swollen cheeks.

Good news is, Ford appears to be working his way through whatever the issue was.

"I've been on so many antibiotics and everything," he said in a follow-up video on Veterans Day. "Just IV antibiotics and the swelling is coming down so thank you guys so much for your prayers. But, please, don't forget its Veterans Day."

He then encouraged everyone to thank Veterans, and he returned again with another update with his face noticeably less swollen.

"What's up y'all?" Ford said in the video. "Hey, face, better. Getting a lot better. Just a little infection. It's all good. I feel better than I ever have. I weighed 185, back in 33 waist. I'm coming back, and it's going to be something fun. I'll see y'all on the road next year. Love y'all."

In the caption alongside the video , Ford promised new music in 2025.

So, it looks like yet another hurdle that Ford has made it over this year.

Ford first hit the stage again in September, performing alongside his friend, Brantley Gilbert.

Ford, 55, revealed some of the details of his medical ordeal in late April when he called in to the Big D and Bubba radio show.

"It's been a traumatic, crazy experience," Ford told the hosts. "I didn't even remember coming out here to do a show in Phoenix."

Ford had just stepped back onto his tour bus after performing at Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row bar when he texted his fiancée, 'Hi baby.'"

"And then I fell over dead," he said.

Ford said that, luckily, his band came out to check on him and found him. And, he said, 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.

"He said, 'I don't care what you do, get him to the other hospital,'" Ford said of Gilbert.

Ford said he died during transport to the other hospital.

"They brought me back," he said. "They saved my life. The Lord had more for me to do."

He added that one of his doctors told him he would not have given him a 1-percent chance to live.

"He said, I would give you a .1 percent chance that you would have survived,'" Ford said.

"I had so much trauma in my body and my heart," he said. "I had three stints put in (my heart)."

Ford, who has worked closely with Toby Keith, Jamey Johnson and Jason Aldean, has had his share of health issues. Taste of Country reported last year that he was battling Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disease.

He also reportedly had eye cancer and had to undergo surgery three years ago to deal with that.

Ford, whose real name is Jason Farris Brown, is a former professional golfer. He has released eight studio albums with his first coming in 2008, and his most recent, "Must Be Country," released in 2023.
