Ronnie McDowell, a renowned country music artist, was transported to the hospital on Saturday due to a mini stroke that occurred during his concert.
“He is experiencing a significant improvement in his condition today.” “We did discover that he had a mini stroke,” his representative informed Page Six in a statement on Monday.
The spokesperson further stated, “They will conduct additional tests today before he returns to Nashville.”
According to Nashville, Tenn.-based radio station WKRN, the “Older Women” singer’s diction began to slur while he was performing at the Summer Solstice Music Festival in Oley, Pennsylvania on Saturday.
The 75-year-old musician’s tour manager informed the station that he was “not making sense” after completing “three or four songs” on the setlist.
McDowell’s manager purportedly removed him from the stage to inquire about his well-being, to which the artist responded, “No.”
McDowell suspected that he was experiencing a stroke, and his manager promptly transported him to a medical facility.
