Country star Colt Ford said in an interview last week that a massive heart attack should have killed him, but “the Lord had more for me to do.”
Forl was stricken after playing an April 4 show at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in Gilbert, Arizona.
During an April 23 interview on the “Big D & Bubba” radio show, he said he was thankful to have survived.
“I didn’t even remember coming out here to do a show in Phoenix, and apparently we played this great, sold-out show and it was — it was incredible,” Ford said.
“I walked back to the bus and texted my fiancée, ‘Hi baby,’ and fell over dead,” he said.
“I died two times,” Ford said.
“Luckily, my band came out to check on me,” he said. “They were, like, it was really hot in there and I’m getting to be an old guy now, and they came out to check on me and then all of a sudden … basically all hell broke loose.”
Ford said he had no memory of anything until he woke up. He said he was told a trauma team brought him back.
Do you listen to country music?
“The Lord had more for me to do, more music for me to make and hopefully more differences to make in some people’s lives,” he said.
Ford said three stents were put in his heart.
“The overwhelming support and love I have felt has been — I get emotional talking about it. I have been an emotional wreck since I’ve been in here,” he said.
Ford said doctors did not expect him to make it. He said one told him, “I wouldn’t have given you 1 percent, I would have given you 0.1 percent that you would survive.”
“It’s been life-changing. It’s been spiritually changing. Obviously, it’s been physically changing. It’s just been a crazy. … I’m not still a hundred percent out of the woods yet. I think I am,” he said.
“This changed my perspective and outlook on lots of things,” the country star said.
In a video posted to X a day after the interview, he thanked his fans for their support.

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
