Thomas Rhett Cancels Shows Due To Illness
The Valory Music Co’s rising star in Thomas Rhett has been forced to cancel two upcoming shows this weekend. The “Something To Do With My Hands” singer was advised to do so by his doctor following a diagnosis of both mononucleosis and tonsillitis. He was to be the special guest on Toby Keith‘s Live In Overdrive tour stops on Friday, August 24th in Atlanta, Georgia, and Saturday August 25th in Charlotte, North Carolina. He joins label mate Brantley Gilbert on the tour. Toby and Brantley’s shows will still go on as scheduled.
Thomas feels bad for having to cancel the two dates and wrote a message for his fans who were hoping to see him this weekend at both dates:
“I was really looking forward to Atlanta and Charlotte with Toby Keith and Brantley Gilbert this weekend. Cannot wait to get back and see the fans.”
Tickets are still available for the shows this weekend by visiting ticketmaster.com. Us here at Keepin’ it Country wish Thomas a speedy recovery and hope to see him back out on the road again soon!
LeAnn Rimes Recovering From Surgery
Curb Nashville artist LeAnn Rimes was forced to cancel shows in Ohio and Indiana last week due to an emergency surgery she underwent yesterday. She’s now at home after an extensive root canal procedure for pain relief that had started earlier this month. She will need a second surgery on Monday, but it’s expected to only be a minor surgery. Yesterday’s root canal was the second surgery LeAnn has had this year; she had a procedure done for pain relief back in February.
While she isn’t performing while she’s recovering she is still hard at work. LeAnn is working on the cover art for her brand new upcoming album “Spitfire,” which is her last contractually obligated album on Curb Records. She was signed to Curb when she was 11 years old. There’s no release date yet for her album which is expected out later this year.
Miranda Lambert Re-Schedules More Concerts
Texan Miranda Lambert is apologizing to fans today after being forced to postpone more shows due to an illness. She released a statement for her fans explaining that her doctor has ordered her to continue to rest her vocals, which she had overextended while on tour. All tickets will be honored at the new October dates for this weekend’s shows.
“I’m so sorry to disappoint the fans that have already bought tickets to see me,” said Miranda. “I’m taking care of my voice and I can’t wait to get on the road again and bring you a hell of a show.”
“ON FIRE” tour dates rescheduled are her Orange Beach, AL for October 4th, Atlanta, GA for October 5th, and Pelham, AL for October 6th. We hope Miranda feels better soon and can get back out on the road – she puts on an amazing live show.
George Jones Released From Hospital
Country music legend George Jones was released from hospital, his publicist shares. The Country Music Hall of Fame member was admitted into a Nashville-area hospital last week for tests while battling an upper respiratory illness. He is currently resting at home and recovering from his battle with the illness. He noticed the support of his fans and wanted to thank them for their well wishes:
“I can’t thank my friends and fans enough for all their support. Nancy has got me a new team of doctors to help me get through this, and it seems to be working. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.”
George, who was forced to postpone shows on doctor’s orders, will reschedule those affected tour dates as soon as he can. Us here at Keepin’ it Country hope that George recovers and is back on his feet shortly!
