Ronnie Dunn abruptly left the stage last week during Brooks & Dunn's encore "Boot Scootin' Boogie" number, and everyone has been talking about it online and at the show, where fans witnessed it happen.
Ronnie, who is 71, and bandmate Kix Brooks were performing their signature song at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Thursday, April 3, when Dunn exited mid-song.
Dunn told the crowd to “sing it if you know it” before turning to one of his band members and making a “cut it off” motion with his hand while shaking his head. He then walked to the front of the stage, pumped his heart for his love of the fans, and waved to the crowd before making his exit.
You can see it happen in the TikTok video one fan captured below:
A rep for Brooks & Dunn confirmed that Ronnie was sick and noted the next tour date went on as planned. The band performed without a hitch at the Allstate Arena outside Chicago on Saturday, April 5.
