Jason Aldean Suffers Heat Stroke During July 15 Concert in Connecticut

On July 15, thousands of fans gathered at the Xfinity Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut to watch Jason Aldean perform his Highway Desperado tour – which kicked off on July 14 in Bethel, New York. It was just the second performance of what is supposed to be a 41-city tour that comes to an end on October 28.

Unfortunately, Aldean was forced to cut the concert short after just 20 minutes – he ran offstage while performing ‘Crazytown.’ While it wasn’t clear what the problem was, something was clearly wrong and one fan had reason to believe that it was likely something to do with the rising heat and humidity.

“It was hotter than he**. It was bad enough just standing in the pit I can’t imagine performing in jeans, boots, and hat under all those lights in that humidity with no breeze. Hope he’s okay!” one of his fans – who was at the concert – wrote on Twitter. He never returned to the stage and the show abruptly ended.
