Jason Aldean was forced to cut his concert short on Saturday night (July 15) as he was performing at the Xfinity Theater in Hartford, Conn., being rushed offstage as he was affected by what was later revealed as heat stroke.
A fan shot video shows Aldean during that moment onstage, which happened while he was in the middle of his 2009 hit, “Crazy Town.” At first you can see him physically react, wiping his head in in arm and trying to rally, but se4conds later he leaves the stage.
#JasonAldean runs off stage at the #xfinitytheatre show in #HartfordCT. Poor guy. It was hotter than hell. 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! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/upwFybMjvS
