Veteran country music singer Mark Chesnutt was reportedly rushed to a Louisiana hospital before a scheduled performance.

The 62-year-old was preparing to open for the band Alabama at the Raising Cane’s River Center on Thursday when he fell ill and was taken to the hospital, ABC affiliate WBRX News 2 reported.

Venue officials stated that the “Bubba Shot the Jukebox” singer was hospitalized for medical reasons but did not provide further details on his condition, WBRX reported. Chesnutt’s band performed on Thursday without him.

The singer remained hospitalized Friday, undergoing tests for “low sodium count and extreme high blood pressure,” The Eastern New Mexico News reported, citing his manager, Tony Conway.
