“I really thought I’d be able to take the stage and it kills me to deliver this so close to showtime,” he wrote on his Instagram Story.
Due to voice issues, Morgan Wallen had to cancel his performance in Mississippi on Sunday night just before it was set to begin.
Before his second night this past weekend at the University of Mississippi’s Vaught Hemingway Stadium, a message that was heartbreaking was broadcast on the stadium’s video boards.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Morgan is unable to perform tonight due to vocal loss. The show had been canceled for tonight, according to the notice. “I kindly request that you move cautiously toward the stadium exits. For tonight’s event, refunds will be available at the time of purchase. ”.
At the time of the announcement, thousands of fans had gathered inside the stadium, and some were anticipating the 29-year-old country star while posting pictures from the event on social media.
Others asserted that they were dismayed to see the message on the stadium’s screens after spending three hours inside the venue waiting for Wallen to arrive.
Before news of Wallen’s cancellation spread, all three of the opening acts—HARDY, ERNEST, and Nate Smith—performed their sets, according to the Tennessean.
On his Instagram Story, the “Thought You Should Know” singer expressed regret for missing the One Night At A Time World Tour and claimed to have lost his voice. As word of Wallen’s cancellation spread among the crowd inside the arena, this was done.
To recover from the performance last night, Wallen wrote, “I spent the day sleeping, talking to my doctor, and working through my vocal exercises.”. “I thought I’d be able to take the stage, and it kills me to deliver this so close to stage time, but my voice is shot, and I’m unable to sing.”. ”.
“All tickets will be refunded at the time of purchase. I’m sorry; please know that I tried my best. ”.
The next Wallen performance is scheduled for this Thursday in Grand Rapids, Mississippi, following which the remainder of the summer and fall tour will start.
Earlier that week, on Thursday night, Wallen was seriously hurt while performing in Louisville, Kentucky. According to a TikTok posted by a fan after the performance, the country singer could be seen entering the stage as he sang his duet with Diplo, “Heartless,” while the fog onstage obscured his vision and caused him to trip and fall in front of his fans.
He settled himself and started singing again while grinning at the audience. Later, he made a silly expression to make fun of the situation.
The tour bears the same name as Wallen’s third studio album, One Thing at a Time, which was released in March and contains 36 songs, including singles like “Last Night” and “Thinkin’ Bout Me.”. ”.
According to the “You Proof” singer, “This record represents the last few years of my life, the highs and the lows.”. Additionally, it incorporates alternative, country, and hip-hop music, which has shaped my artistic style.
We simply kept trying out new lyrics, tunes, and production ideas, and these songs just felt right to me, he continued. On this album, there are 36 songs. Given how much fun it was to make, I was overjoyed to be back in the studio to present this to my fans. ”.
Due to being caught on camera by his Nashville neighbors using the n-word, Wallen experienced significant backlash in February 2021. Afterwards, he apologized and said he was “embarrassed.
”.
He said he was embarrassed and apologized at the time.
“I regret using a disrespectful and impolite racial epithet. The use of this terminology is never justified. ”.
