Walker Hayes is taking a break to get healthy, and his fans are rallying around him in support. The "Fancy Like" singer took to Instagram to let his followers know that he was forced to cancel a show in Orange Beach, Alabama, due to an illness.
Walker shared a heartfelt video explaining the situation to his fans, apologizing for the last-minute cancelation and expressing his disappointment. He finished the video by saying, "Let me get well, and we'll be back."
He also shared a written statement, saying, "Hey guys, I'm so disappointed to be writing this right now, but I have to postpone my show tonight in Orange Beach at the Wharf. I fought all day yesterday to do the show in Nashville, but I woke up in much worse shape. When you guys are spending your hard earned money to come out and see us, I never want to give anything less than 100%."
Hundreds of fans left messages of support:
- "We were at the show in Nashville last night and even though it was the BEST first concert for my two little girls, I could tell when you were talking that you didn’t feel well. Feel better soon!"
- "Awh man take care of yourself!!!! Rest up 🙌🏻"
- "Just at NASHVILLE show last night and the mom in me could tell something was up… SO sorry and 🙏🏼praying you feel better very soon! Rest & Recovery so important"
- "Well I’m here in orange beach for the concert - it was a much needed vacation - as much as I am disappointed, your health health is much more important - I’ll try to come back for the July show. Hope you feel better soon!"
Walker is scheduled to perform on Friday at Dauphin's Country Fest in Dauphin, Canada, and then on Saturday in Carlton, Minnesota. We're hoping to see him well-rested and back on stage soon!
