Jason Aldean to reschedule concert cut short by heat
County singer Jason Aldean had to cut a recent concert short because he said he suffered heat exhaustion while on stage.
Aldeen was performing in Hartford, Connecticut, where the high temperature registered 89 degrees, CBS News reported.
Video from the concert showed him struggling to sing and then running offstage.
According to Xfinity Theatre, Aldean’s rep said he had suffered “heat stroke,” Billboard reported.
Aldean shared Sunday on Twitter that he had been golfing all day before the show and had “a combination of dehydration and just heat exhaustion.” He cleared up what happened, saying that he didn’t think it was as serious as heat stroke, but added that it was “pretty intense.” He had to have two IVs administered, one when he got off stage and a second on Sunday.
