Keith Urban canceled one of his upcoming tour stops due to illness.
Urban was set to take the stage on Thursday (October 16) at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. It was one of the country star’s final U.S. stops on his headlining “High and Alive World Tour” with Chase Matthew, Alana Springsteen and Karley Scott Collins.
The venue shared in a statement on Wednesday (October 15) that Urban “has been advised by his longtime laryngologist Dr. Gaelyn Garrett, from the Vanderbilt Voice Center, to cancel his performance in Greenville, SC tomorrow night at Bon Secours Wellness Arena due to laryngitis which began earlier this week. He has been placed on complete vocal rest and Dr. Garrett is optimistic that he will be back onstage for his Nashville show,” which is set for Friday (October 17).
The statement also notes next steps for ticket holders. Those who purchased tickets via Ticketmaster will receive refunds automatically. Others should reach out to their point of purchase, Bon Secours Wellness Arena states.
“Hey Greenville, I’m so SO sorry to have to cancel the show…I know all the logistics it takes to get to a concert these days and I’ve never taken any of that, or any of YOU for granted,” Urban said in a statement via the South Carolina venue. “I’m looking forward to getting back there when we can!!!!!"
