Aldean shared Sunday on Twitter that he had been golfing all day before the show and had “a combination of dehydration and just heat exhaustion.” He cleared up what happened, saying that he didn’t think it was as serious as heat stroke, but added that it was “pretty intense.” He had to have two IVs administered, one when he got off stage and a second on Sunday.
