Country music artist Ronnie McDowell has been hospitalised following a medical issue over the weekend, reported People.

During his performance at the Summer Solstice Music Festival in Oley, Pennsylvania, the country star began slurring his words during the first few songs of his set.

Ronnie`s tour manager said he was "not making sense" during his set. The tour manager stopped the show three or four songs in to take Ronnie, 75, to the side to check in with how he was feeling.
