Bad news for fans: Morgan Wallen has decided to step back from touring to focus on his recovery. On Tuesday, May 9, the singer took to social media where he announced he would be rescheduling the next six weeks of his tour at the advice of his doctors. Wallen said he was advised to take a complete vocal rest but got the green light to share his situation with eager fans.
“They [doctors] told me that I reinjured my vocal cords and that I have vocal fold trauma,” he revealed. “Their advice is that I go on vocal rest for six weeks, so that’s what I’m going to do.” Wallen went on to say he will also be unable to perform at the festivals he was scheduled to attend, but his team is working double time to reschedule the affected tour stops. “For the longevity of my career, this is just a choice I had to make,” he added. “I hate it. But I love you guys, and I appreciate all the support that you always give me.”
Unfortunately, Wallen’s announcement also meant he would be skipping the much-awaited ACM Awards and the “ACM Lifting Lives: LIVE” concert, which he was supposed to headline. Fellow country superstar Jason Aldean stepped in at the last minute, adding that he was rooting for Wallen to win the entertainer of the year award. “For me, Morgan would be the guy that I would look at and go, ‘He’s been hotter, bigger than anybody else in our genre,'” he told Taste of Country. “That’s who I would think should get it.”
