Colt Ford <\/a>was ready to Rock the Country before he suffered a heart attack in April 2024. The singer had signed up for Kid Rock<\/a>‘s summer festival series, but had to cancel.<\/p>\n The “All Summer Long” hitmaker made sure Ford’s fans were served, and then he did something unthinkable.<\/p>\n Kid Rock paid Colt Ford for all of the shows he missed.<\/p>\n Ford appeared on the Outside the Round with Matt Burrill<\/em><\/a> podcast this week. During the 90-minute interview, he spoke about what Kid Rock did for him.<\/p>\n He shared that Kid Rock told him that\u00a0festival organizers\u00a0decided not to replace him on the bill, and instead the legendary rap\/rock\/country star would do a DJ set of Ford’s music at each show.<\/p>\n Beyond that, they wanted to make sure Ford wasn’t hurting financially.<\/p>\n “Bob paid me anyway,” Ford shares (quote via Whiskey Riff).<\/p>\n “That\u2019s the kind of stuff that sometimes needs to get out there. He was like, ‘I got you.’ Because he knew that was a big deal for me, and it was.”<\/p>\n Recent quotes from Ford are clear evidence that he is not dead, but the 54-year-old actually says doctors had to bring him back to life<\/a>, twice<\/em>!<\/p>\n When emergency crews found\u00a0Ford on his bus, he was clinically dead. They took him to a hospital that didn’t have the resources he needed, so he was transported to another. During that trip he died a second time, but first responders brought him back again.<\/p>\nDid Colt Ford Die?<\/h3>\n
