Chris Stapleton is under the weather, and his doctor’s orders have forced him to postpone several dates on his remaining All-American Road Show Tour

The “Tennessee Whiskey” hitmaker broke the news to his fans in a message posted on his official Instagram page last Wednesday (October 11), revealing that he was diagnosed with “bronchitis and laryngitis.” His condition left him no choice but to reschedule his performances on the next three upcoming concerts in Corpus Christi, Texas, Houston, Texas, and Lafayette, Louisiana, this week. He added that his doctor had put him on vocal rest over the weekend to help him recover. 

Stapleton ended his message by showcasing gratitude, especially for fans’ “patience and understanding.” 

“Hope to see you all in November,” the country singer said in one of his latest statements.
