Country music fans received some disappointing news recently as Morgan Wallen announced that he’s postponing a few dates on his One Night at a Time tour.
The popular singer has been hit with an illness that he just can’t shake off.
Despite giving it his all during his first performance in Tampa, Florida on July 11, he quickly realized he wouldn’t be able to make it through his second show on July 12.
The timing of the announcement couldn’t have been worse for fans .
Wallen’s update came out in the afternoon of the show day, giving ticket holders only a few hours’ notice that the performance was off.
This sudden change didn’t just affect that night—it also meant the following week’s shows had to be rescheduled, pushing all those dates into October.
Morgan Wallen took to social media to share his regret over the situation.
On X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “I hate to reschedule shows but I powered through being sick in Tampa last night, and unfortunately woke up feeling way worse today. I would not give you guys anywhere near 100 [percent] tonight and as a result, I need to move tonight’s Tampa show to Oct. 4 and next week’s Charlotte shows to Oct. 18 and 19.”
For those with tickets to the affected shows, new dates have been set.
Wallen’s Tampa show is now scheduled for October 4, while the Charlotte performances will take place on October 18 and 19.
This gives fans a bit of a wait, but at least there’s a clear plan in place.
The good news is that the postponements are limited to just a few shows.
Wallen’s tour is set to pick back up on July 25 in Arlington, Texas, where he has two nights of concerts planned.
So, fans in Texas can look forward to seeing him soon.
Morgan Wallen really gave it his all in Tampa on July 11th, despite battling through some serious challenges.
He started off determined, pushing through despite feeling under the weather.
But as the night went on, the Florida humidity, bright lights, and pyrotechnics turned up the heat — literally!
Jelly Roll joked that Morgan ended up with a serious case of “swamp ass” midway through the show.
Throughout, you could tell Morgan was struggling with his illness, and by the end, he looked like he had shed a few pounds in sweat alone.
He was completely spent, with no voice left to meet fans afterward.
It’s funny how Jelly Roll had warned him not to go full throttle on Night 1, but Morgan was determined to give the crowd an unforgettable show, even if it cost him a bit of comfort and hydration!
Morgan Wallen has had his fair share of challenges with tour schedules.
Back in the spring of 2023, he had to postpone several shows when his doctor advised him to go on vocal rest.
This unexpected break caused the rescheduling of six weeks of performances, impacting a total of 18 shows.
Clearly, Wallen knows how to handle these setbacks and always keeps his fans informed.
While it’s a bummer for fans who were ready to see Wallen perform this month, his health and ability to deliver a great show are what matter most.
The October rescheduled dates will surely be worth the wait.
Until then, fans can look forward to his return to the stage in Texas and hope that he makes a speedy recovery .
Morgan Wallen’s commitment to his fans and his craft means that when he does get back on stage , he’s going to give it his all, making every performance worth the wait.
Morgan Wallen isn’t the only country artist who has had to make the difficult choice to postpone shows due to health problems.
Over the years, several big names in country music have had to step back and prioritize their well-being.
For instance, Garth Brooks had to delay several concerts in 2015 due to vocal strain, ensuring he didn’t permanently damage his voice.
Carrie Underwood also had to reschedule some of her Cry Pretty tour dates in 2019 due to an upper respiratory infection.
Even legendary artists like Willie Nelson have had to cancel shows. Recently, Nelson had to miss the opening shows of his Outlaw Music Festival tour in June 2024 due to a health issue.
Ann Wilson recently rescheduled her tour due to health-related reasons.
These instances highlight that, despite their larger-than-life personas, country stars are just as vulnerable to illness as the rest of us.
Taking time to recover is essential for their long-term careers and health.
