Tim McGraw collapses on stage at C2C Dublin

Country music star Tim McGraw has collapsed while performing on stage in Ireland as part of the Country to Country music festival. The 50-year-old singer was mid-way though ‘Humble & Kind’ last night when suddenly he dropped to his knees, then sat on stage. Staff rushed in to deliver medical attention and the concert was halted. Addressing the crowds, wife and singer Faith Hill, came on stage to explain McGraw was “super dehydrated” before saying, “I apologise, but I made the decision that he cannot come back out onstage,” prompting cheers and applause. A representative for McGraw later said in a statement: “Tim McGraw was suffering from dehydration in Dublin this evening at the C2C show. He was attended to by local medical staff on-site and will be fine. He and Faith thank everyone for their love and support and look forward to seeing their Irish fans again soon.” McGraw had already performed on Friday night in London, as part of C2C’s three-day tour in various U.K. cities. He’s not scheduled to take to the stage again until May 31, when he’s on the bill for the Soul2Soul tour in Richmond, Virginia, alongside Hill. The singer is one of the few country stars to speak out about gun control in America and has a personal connection to the Parkland school tragedy in which 17 students were shot dead.

Shropshire Musician Jonn Walker

Shropshire musician, Jonn Walker, releases debut EP and talks about battling depression

After spending much of his musical career playing guitar or drums in various bands, Jonn spent the tail end of last year writing and recording a solo acoustic EP. Within eight days of finishing the recording session, one of the tracks from “Partisan Palace” was aired on BBC Introducing for Shropshire. “Last year was pivotal for me,” Jonn says. “I had therapy for depression, which I’ve battled since I was a kid, I went on tour with a rock band for six months, I left a job I hated and I suddenly had a burst of inspiration leading me to write the EP. Yet I had dark, troubled times that actually helped me to speak up about depression. Over the coming weeks, I will be discussing depression, anxiety and therapy on Twitter and I encourage anyone who has questions or who simply wants to talk to join me.” You can read a review of Jonn’s EP “Partisan Palace” in the March edition of Maverick and you can find his track “To The Ground” on the free CD with the mag.
