    Brooks & Dunn Fans Express Concern After Ronnie Dunn Appeared To Be “Struggling” During Concert

    Fans are expressing concern for Ronnie Dunn after the Neon Moon singer appeared to be struggling during a recent Brooks & Dunn concert.

    The Country Music Hall of Fame duo, made up of Ronnie and Kix Brooks, performed in Indianapolis on Thursday, April 3, as part of their Neon Moon Tour, which began on March 13.

    During the show, fans noticed that Ronnie seemed to be unwell. At one point, the 71-year-old vocalist stepped back and sat on stage risers while still performing, leading fans to worry about his health. A TikTok user who posted a video of the moment wrote, “Prayers for Ronnie Dunn! He left the stage in Indy sick tonight.”

    Ronnie returned to the stage for the encore, where he and Kix performed their #1 hit from 1992, Boot Scootin’ Boogie. However, Ronnie didn’t seem to be his usual energetic self. As the song reached the chorus, he stopped singing entirely and let Kix take over.

    Another TikTok user shared a video capturing a moment when Ronnie turned toward a member of their band, making an “I can’t” gesture over his throat. He took a few steps before turning around to face the audience. Pointing to the crowd and tapping his chest, he appeared to signal that his voice wasn’t up to par. He waved goodbye to the crowd before walking offstage.

    Fans Express Concern on Social Media

    Many fans voiced their worry in the comments sections of the TikTok videos. Several mentioned that Ronnie had recently been sick and was likely still recovering:

    “Was there too. Really wanted to hear I Believe but understand he was struggling.”

    “I knew something was going on! He didn’t sing as much as he normally does.”

    “We were there and I was concerned about him, too. I remember him saying at one point that he could hardly breathe, but he had been singing really hard when he made that comment. Praying for him!”

    “Saw him at Houston Rodeo on 03/22.. was just getting over COVID.”

    “We were there too. It looked like he was struggling throughout the entire night.”

    “I saw on his insta that he had the flu/strep two weeks ago, possibly still struggling? I was so sad and worried to see him leaving.”

    “Saw them in Austin a couple of weeks ago & he said flu/strep was killing him. No time off to get well.”

    Brooks & Dunn’s next show is scheduled for tonight (April 4) in Peoria, Illinois. They also have a performance scheduled for April 5 in Rosemont, Illinois, before taking a multi-week break.

    Fans are hopeful that the break will give Ronnie the time he needs to rest and recover. The duo’s tour will pick back up on April 24 in Des Moines, Iowa.
