Ronnie Dunn leaves Brooks & Dunn concert mid-encore, sparking fan concern over health
Ronnie Dunn, one half of iconic country duo Brooks & Dunn, raised alarm among fans after walking off stage during an encore at the band's April 3, 2025, performance at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The 71-year-old singer exited the stage while the group was performing their classic hit 'Boot Scootin' Boogie.' A viral TikTok video posted by radio personality Matt Malone captured the moment Dunn told the crowd, 'Sing it if you know it,' before signaling to his band to stop playing. He then waved to fans and quietly exited the stage. 'Feel better, Ronnie!!! Thanks for giving us all you could!!' Malone captioned the post. Fans quickly took to social media expressing concern, with some noting Dunn's apparent struggle throughout the concert. One concertgoer said Dunn had mentioned difficulty breathing earlier in the night, while another recalled the singer sharing in Texas last month that he was recovering from COVID and strep throat. Despite the health scare, a spokesperson for Brooks & Dunn confirmed to Us Weekly on April 7 that Dunn had been sick but noted the tour continued as scheduled. The band played their next show at Allstate Arena near Chicago on April 5. Brooks & Dunn, formed in 1988, are known for chart-topping country hits like 'Neon Moon,' 'Brand New Man,' and 'My Maria.' The duo reunited in 2015 after a hiatus and released Reboot II in November 2024, featuring collaborations with Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, and Megan Moroney. Fans continue to send well-wishes to Dunn as the Reboot Tour rolls on.

Why Brooks & Dunn's Ronnie Dunn abruptly boot-scooted off-stage during concert encore
The team for country music duo Brooks & Dunn has shed more light on what led to singer Ronnie Dunn's abrupt exit at a recent concert. A representative for the Grammy-winning pair known for 'Neon Moon' and 'Brand New Man' told USA Today on Monday that the 71-year-old Dunn 'wasn't feeling well from being sick' when he bowed out early during an encore on Thursday. At the time, Brooks & Dunn were performing at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Radio host Matt Malone recorded the moment of Dunn's unexpected exit and shared the video to TikTok on Friday. In the clip, Dunn can be seen rocking out with Kix Brooks and their bassist as they perform their twangy hit 'Boot Scootin' Boogie.' After encouraging fans to 'sing it if you know it,' Dunn looks at the bassist, shakes his head and gestures that he's done for the evening. Dunn then walks to the edge of the stage where he extends his arms to the audience, taps his hand over his heart and waves. The video ends with Dunn exiting the stage. 'Feel better, Ronnie,' Malone captioned his video, which has garnered more than 86,000 likes. 'Thanks for giving us all you could!!' Brooks & Dunn got its start in the late 1980s and gained popularity and critical acclaim for many songs including 'Hard Workin' Man,' 'You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone' and 'Cowgirls Don't Cry.' The country music pair has two Grammy wins, and dozens of Country Music Assn. and Academy of Country Music awards combined under its belt. Despite Dunn leaving the show early on Thursday and mounting concern and speculation about his health, Brooks & Dunn carried on. The representative told USA Today that 'Saturday night's show went on as planned.' They performed at the Allstate Arena at Rosemont, Ill. Brooks & Dunn released its latest album 'Reboot II' in November and has three shows remaining this month on its New Moon tour.
