Jason Aldean shared a health update with fans after suddenly leaving the stage during a concert on Saturday, July 15, 2023 in Hartford, Connecticut.

“It was so hot, yesterday I played golf all day, then [I] got to the show and had a combination of dehydration and heat exhaustion,” the country singer, 46, explained in a series videos on Instagram Story. on Sunday, July 16. “So I hear a lot of things going around, heatstroke, all this stuff. I didn’t think it was that serious but it was pretty tense at the show last night.”

Aldean went on to note that he “knew [the heat exhaustion] was coming,” but that he tried to “get through as much of the show as I could” before exiting the stage during his song “Crazy Town” to receive medical attention. (“Crazy Town” is the 13th song on Aldean’s setlist, which is 22 tracks total.)

“I knew it wasn’t gonna happen and I was trying to just get off stage and figure out what was going on,” he added.

After cutting the performance short, Aldean says he received “a couple of IVs” and continued to receive treatment on Sunday. “[I’ve] got a show in Saratoga [Springs, New York] tonight. We’re gonna play that show and then we’re gonna make the one up to you guys in Hartford, as well. So, again, I apologize for cutting the show short, but we’ll come back and make it up to you and I’m feeling a lot, lot better so thank you guys for checking in and, I don’t know, we’ll see you tonight.” (Aldean successfully made it through his show on Sunday.)
