According to American Songwriter, Rucker was on stage in Atlantic City, New Jersey, over the weekend when his voice suddenly started to go out. Although he initially tried to power through the show, the music legend ended up cutting the performance early.
“Y’all, I can’t sing anymore,” he announced on stage. “I will play one more song. I promise you we’re going to figure this out. This never happened. I physically can’t sing… I will make this up to you.”
Before heading off stage, Rucker performed “Wagon Wheel,” although he needed some help from the audience. He later took to his Instagram Stories to apologize again for the unfortunate performance.
“I feel awful and I’m so sorry,” he wrote. “I have never lost my voice in all my years of performing. We looked at every option to reschedule, but unfortunately, it’s just not possible this year, so we’re issuing full refunds. The venue will send details to you directly.”
He then added, “Thank you so much for all your kind messages wishing me well. Love y’all and see you soon!”
Despite the voice struggles, the music legend is currently scheduled to perform in Florida on Saturday and Sunday. He will then head to Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri for his final July tour dates.
