Country Star Cancels Shows, Announces Touring Break
Justin Moore, the chart-topping country star, delivered unexpected news to fans.
The Arkansas singer announced that he is halting upcoming shows and lineup due to personal reasons.
In an Instagram post, the "This Is My Dirt" singer issued a statement saying that he is stepping away from touring to "focus" on his health.
"I've made the decision to take some time to focus on my health. As a result, I'll be stepping away from touring for a short period and will be unable to perform some upcoming shows," he posted on social media. "This is the right decision for me and my family, and I appreciate everyone's understanding and support. I look forward to getting back out there later this summer and doing what I love most."
The comment section was filled with supportive and sympathetic reactions from fans who understood the decision to withdraw from the said event temporarily.
"Take care of YOU brother and those kiddos and mama," one wrote.
"Shows can always wait, sending love your way, dude," a commenter said.
"Without your health, you have nothing. Take care of yourself first," a follower remarked.
"Get well & may Jesus's healing stripes be laid upon JM! YOU are SO Amazing. Klein is too!! ARKANSAS THANKS," a fan echoed.
The same sentiment was shared by another follower who said, "Please take care of yourself and that beautiful family you have built. Your fans will be right here."
The upcoming concerts are scheduled for June 11 and 12 with fellow country artist Tyler Kinch as the special guest and opening act.
Amid the abrupt announcement regarding his upcoming shows, it is unclear whether Moore will be participating with Riley Green for his Cowboy As It Gets Tour.
After the success of his 2024 run, the Alabama native has invited Moore as his special guest, along with Drake White, Mackenzie Carpenter, Zach John King, Hannah McFarland and Adam Hood for the Spring leg this June.
