Country Star Luke Bryan Apologizes to Fans for Cancelled Shows
Country star Luke Bryan shared an update with his fans after axing a third show on his Country on Tour concert series due to an illness.
The 47-year-old posted a message on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying he had a “frustrating weekend” after postponing a show in Utah on Friday, being forced to cancel another in Idaho on Saturday, and pulling out of a third in Washington on Sunday at the Watershed Festival.
“Shedders, I am sorry to let you down but I am not back singing – can hardly even talk still,” Bryan posted to his 9.2 million followers.
“This festival is one of the most beautiful places we perform and one of the most fun crowds always,” he added. “I know my friends on the show will bring a great time for you! Show them all what you got. Love ya – Luke.”
