On Sunday night, fans packed into Mississippi’s Vaught Hemingway Stadium to see Morgan Wallen. Unfortunately, he cancelled his concert, minutes before the show was scheduled to begin. Fans were left disappointed and confused, informed via video screens inside the stadium that the show wouldn’t be taking place. Wallen had apparently lost his voice, coming off a performance at the same venue the night before.
“After last night’s show I started losing my voice so I spent the day resting up, talking to my doctor and working through my vocal exercises trying to get better. I really thought I’d be able to take the stage and it kills me to deliver this so close to showtime, but my voice is shot and I am unable to sing.”
On Tuesday morning, news broke that the Mississippi show was just one of several that will need to be rescheduled, as Wallen has been put on “vocal rest” by a doctor. Upcoming shows in Michigan, Illinois, and Nebraska are all pushed back. Friday’s show in Grand Rapids has been rescheduled to June 27, while Saturday’s show in Moline has been pushed to September 8 and Sunday’s show in Lincoln September 9.
“Y’all know how important my fans are to me, so I feel horrible about this news,” he explains on his Instagram Stories. “There’s nothing more I want to do than be on stage playing for you guys. But as of today, I’m on doctor-ordered vocal rest, and we have to reschedule this week’s shows.”
“I appreciate and understand everything you do to get to my shows,” Wallen’s social post continues. “So, it would be unfair of me to put on a show that I know will not be 100%. I’m doing everything I can to speed up the process of getting to that 100% mark.”
Following the Mississippi cancellation, many fans took to twitter to vent their frustrations. Some claim Wallen got too drunk the night before, and that’s why he couldn’t perform.
So let me get this straight. Morgan Wallen gets shit faced the night before his concert, has to have his stomach pumped, let’s 80000 people enter the stadium while knowing he can’t perform, let’s them buy liquor and merch to make a extra $ and then cancels 2 minutes before show?
