McDowell’s tour manager told Nashville’s ABC affiliate that the singer was three or four songs into his June 21 set when he began to slur his words and started “not making sense.”
The scene prompted the tour manager to pause the show and bring McDowell off the stage, the outlet reported.

When the tour manager asked McDowell if he was OK, the singer said “No,” according to the outlet. McDowell further noted that he thought he might have had a stroke, the tour manager told the outlet.

The singer was on his way to a Reading, Pennsylvania, hospital for further examination when the outlet published their story.

Shortly thereafter, a Facebook post, which featured a photo of McDowell playing guitar, had a request for his followers and fans.
