Country music star Ronnie McDowell was rushed to the hospital after slurring his words during his concert.

According to WKRN, a Nashville-based radio station, the “Older Women” singer experienced slurred speech while on stage at the Summer Solstice Music Festival held in Oley, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

His tour manager told the station that the 75-year-old musician was “not making sense” after getting through “three or four songs” on the setlist.

His manager reportedly pulled McDowell offstage to ask him if he was feeling alright — to which the artist replied “No.”

McDowell thought he might be having a stroke, and his manager immediately took him to seek medical attention.

McDowell was reportedly still undergoing testing at a nearby hospital as of Sunday.

The “King is Gone” crooner’s son Tyler Dean McDowell updated fans in a statement on his Facebook Sunday.

Tyler provided an update saying, “Just wanted to inform everyone — I’ve arrived in Pennsylvania. Ronnie Dean and I are here in the room with Dad,” Tyler relayed. “He’s communicating with us, and we are currently waiting for the MRI. Once I have more information, you all will be informed. Love Always.”

Hours later, Tyler gave fans a second update, sharing that he and his family are making his father as comfortable as possible amid the health scare.

Tyler added, “I brought Dad some Popcorners and Kombucha (his preferred snacks),” he mentioned. “Ronnie Dean brought along his comfortable shoes, favorite brush, and his Vietnam hat. Dad was thrilled with these — like a child in a candy store. Thought I’d share a bit of humor with you all.”

Tyler asked for privacy in a separate post, though he understands fans are “concerned” about his father.

“I know you’re all concerned. I promise—no one is more worried than I am,” he said in a June 21 Facebook post. “Please understand, this is an incredibly stressful time, and right now, my focus is on my Dad. If there’s anything that needs to be shared, I promise—we will.”

He then added, “If you can, pray.”

Ronnie’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
