Luke Bryan, the popular country singer, has faced setbacks in his tour due to an undisclosed illness. After initially canceling and rescheduling a few performances, Bryan was compelled to cancel his concert in Brandon, Mississippi on August 13.
Bryan’s statement read, “Please know how much you mean to me and how heartbreaking this is to do.”
In a heartfelt message shared on his social media platforms, Bryan expressed regret about canceling the Brandon show. He explained that, despite taking six days off to recover, he faced difficulties while attempting to sing at previous shows on Thursday and Saturday. This strain on his voice led him to make the tough decision of canceling further performances.
