“This is the TikTok I was making when I had a heart attack,” Matthews said of the incident. “Hadn’t danced to my music in a while… should have noticed the palpitations at the beginning.”
Luckily, the singer is safe and sound and was even able to recreate his dance moves (minus the health issues), playfully calling the choreo the “heart attack.”
