Fans both in attendance at Thursday night’s (4-3) show in Indianapolis at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and others online are showing concern for Ronnie Dunn of the Hall of Fame duo Brooks & Dunn. The 71-year-old spent a portion of the Thursday show sitting on the steps of a stage riser while performing, and walked off near the end of the show during the encore not to return, clearly looking ill and/or out-of-breath.
Though Brooks & Dunn otherwise played a full show and Kix Brooks stepped up at moments to make sure the songs were completed (Ronnie Dunn sings most, though not all the lead parts), as video has circulated online, and “prayers” have been asked for, some are worried about the health of the country legend.

Though neither Ronnie Dunn nor Brooks & Dunn had addressed the concerns at the time of this post, Ronnie has been suffering from respiratory issues lately. On March 22nd, the duo played the massive Rodeo Houston, drawing the largest crowd of the season (71,256). At that time, he was apologizing for his heavy breathing and some “dust” in his delivery.
Brooks & Dunn was supposed to perform at Texas Tech on March 13th, but it was rescheduled until March 20th due to an explosion at a electrical substation on campus that included green fire and purple smoke coming out of potholes. Dunn initially thought that was the issue. However, after visiting the doctor, he was diagnosed with COVID and strep throat.
Dunn likely was still recovering from these ailments, or their lingering effects when he took the stage in Indianapolis. Dunn is usually pretty open and communicative with his fan base. Though the videos do look concerning, there is no reason to believe there is some major issue with Ronnie Dunn as some have been alluding to online.
Instead, we should wait for Dunn to address any underlying issue himself, if he decides to. Otherwise, he was probably just continuing to recover from his recent illness.
The duo recently released Reboot II, and is scheduled to play the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL on Saturday, April 5th.
