Country Singer Ronnie McDowell Rushed to Hospital After Onstage Medical Incident

Country singer Ronnie McDowell was rushed to a hospital on Saturday (June 21) following an on-stage medical incident.

Nashville ABC affiliate WKRN reported that three or four songs into his set at the festival, McDowell began to slur his words together, prompting his tour manager to stop the performance and check on his client. McDowell reportedly told his manager that he thought he had suffered a stroke, at which point the singer was brought to a nearby hospital to undergo further tests. In a post to his own Facebook page, Ronnie’s son Tyler Dean McDowell offered an update on his father’s health, asking that fans give the family time to figure out what’s going on.
