A country music star suffered a heart attack following a show in Gilbert, Arizona, and was rushed to the hospital on Thursday.
Colt Ford, a longtime country musician, is reportedly still in the hospital. However, Ford has reportedly gone from critical to stable condition. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family, and we wish him a speedy recovery.
No official reason has yet been given for the underlying cause of the heart attack, but one journalist had a theory. Collin Rugg explained:
“In 2022, Ford was reportedly diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Myasthenia Gravis.
Myasthenia Gravis is when antibodies “destroy the communication between nerves and muscle, resulting in weakness of the skeletal muscles” [according to John Hopkins Medicine.]
It’s unclear at this moment if Myasthenia Gravis is what caused the heart attack. Ford is currently in critical condition.”
