What happened to Jason Aldean?
Jason Aldean kicked off his highly-anticipated Highway Desperado Tour in July 2023 but ran into issues during the second night.
While performing his 2010 song Crazy Town, he ran off stage and ultimately never returned.
Concertgoers were left confused and outraged by the star’s behavior, but it was later revealed that the summer sun was just too much for the Dirt Road Anthem singer.
In a video, Aldean apologized to fans, and explained that the incident was due to “a combination of dehydration and heat exhaustion.”
How is Jason Aldean doing now?
Fans were worried about the country star but they can be rest assured that the incident was a one-time thing because he was back on stage the following day in Saratoga Springs, New York.
He explained in the clip, which was posted on Twitter, that he was “doing fine” and that his team would reschedule the Connecticut show.
“I’m doing fine. It’s just one of those things – it was hot, I was playing golf all day yesterday. I think it was a combination of dehydration and heat exhaustion,” he said.
“It was pretty intense last night. Anybody that was at the show knows how hot it was. I knew it was coming. I was trying to get through as much of the show as I could, and eventually I knew it wasn’t going to happen and I was trying to just get off stage and figure out what was going on.”
“Not what I was hoping for on our first weekend of the tour by any means,” he continued.
Why else is Jason Aldean trending?
Before Aldean’s heat-related incident, the Grammy-nominated singer was in hot water because of the music video for his single, Try That in a Small Town.
The video, which was released on July 14, seemingly took aim at Black Lives Matter protesters, and fans were not impressed.

The three-minute clip showed Aldean and his band singing in front of a white building with an American flag and also featured footage of looters and rioters.
“Cuss out a cop, spit in his face / Stomp on the flag and light it up / Yeah, ya think you’re tough,” Aldean sings.
“Well, try that in a small town / See how far ya make it down the road / Around here, we take care of our own / You cross that line, it won’t take long / For you to find out, I recommend you don’t / Try that in a small town,” he continues in the chorus.
“Got a gun that my granddad gave me / They say one day they’re gonna round up / Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck.”
In the past, Aldean has expressed his frustration with the protests, which were happening nationwide in 2020 following the police-involved deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

Many fans took offense to the lyrics and some even went as far as calling it a “modern lynching song.”
“Jason Aldean wrote the moden lynching song and not one person bothered to say along the way: perhaps don’t do that,” one user wrote on Twitter.
“As someone who spent most of his life in towns of less than 1000 people, this reads like Jason Aldean wants to lynch someone real bad,” another added.
“Just a reminder that Jason Aldean grew up in a city (population approx. 160,000) and now lives in Nashville, TN (population 692,000). He has no idea what ‘happens in a small town’, he’s just a racist who writes barely concealed lynching songs,” a third said.
While many might’ve taken offense to the song, others praised the country singer.
“Jason Aldean just released an absolutely epic music video for the song ‘Try That In a Small Town’ that rips into the left-wing riots, soft on crime governance in cities, gun control, and other leftist degradation,” one user said.
“Always a big fan of Jason Andean, now I am an even bigger fan! Love the video and the what he is saying! Yes..try that in a small town!” another continued.
At this time, Aldean has not addressed the backlash publicly.
