The renowned singer abruptly left the stage during the early part of the performance of his 2009 hit, “Crazy Town,” and didn’t make his way back on stage. Live Nation, the organization responsible for managing the Xfinity Theatre, confirmed through a representative that Aldean had indeed suffered from heat stroke, rendering him unable to continue with the show.
“Yesterday’s Jason Aldean show will be rescheduled for a future date. We appreciate your patience as we work on rescheduling a new date, as well as the outpouring of well wishes for Jason,” Xfinity Theatre said via a Facebook post. “A rep has confirmed he is now doing well after experiencing heat stroke during last night’s performance. Please stay tuned to all social media channels for updates as they become available.”

A Twitter video uploaded by a fan shows Aldean singing in the middle of his performance when he abruptly halted and hid his face in his upper arm, with several thinking he was trying to wipe off sweat. He can be seen taking a few steps back, quickly coming back to the mic for a few seconds, and shortly after running off stage to his team.
