Cody Johnson Cancels Tour Dates Due to Medical Emergency
Country Music Star Forced to Cancel Leather Deluxe Tour
Country singer Cody Johnson has been compelled to cancel the remaining dates on his successful Leather Deluxe tour, including a highly anticipated sold-out show in Pittsburgh. Johnson announced on social media, citing a burst eardrum as the cause for this unexpected change.
Pittsburgh Concert Canceled, Fans Disappointed
The “‘Til You Can’t” and “Travelin’ Soldier” singer was set to perform on October 18 at PPG Paints Arena, with special guest performances by Clint Black and Walker Montgomery. Johnson addressed the severity of his condition, stating, “The severity of the rupture means I must undergo immediate surgery. The healing process will take many weeks, and it is not possible for me to sing during this time.”
Health and Recovery: A Priority
Johnson emphasized the necessity of surgery and the potential consequences of delaying it. “Without the surgery, my downtime could be months,” he mentioned, expressing hopes for a swift recovery to resume his passion for performing.
Information for Ticket Holders
Fans who hold tickets to the canceled shows are urged to check their emails from ticket providers for further details regarding refunds or rescheduling. Johnson had previously postponed a few shows in September due to illness, making this cancellation particularly unfortunate for his fans.
