Clint Black was forced to cancel his upcoming concert at ArcBest Performing Arts Center in Fort Smith, Arkansas on Thursday (Dec. 1) due to illness.
The country music icon shared the news via social media just one day before the event was set to take place, letting fans know that his concert with his wife, Lisa Hartman Black, and daughter, Lily Pearl Black, has been canceled.
“Due to the seasonal bug hitting the touring party, the Clint Black concert, featuring Lisa Hartman Black scheduled for December 1, 2022, at ArcBest Performing Arts Center has been canceled,” a statement from The Fort Smith Convention Center, which was reposted by Black.
According to the venue, “Tickets purchased online will automatically be refunded within 30 days. Tickets purchased in person at the Box Office can be returned for a refund. Please contact the point of purchase if you have any questions.”
The concert was part of The Black Family’s Mostly Hits & The Mrs. Tour, which kicked off on Thursday, November 17 in Burnsville, Minnesota. The extended run, promoted by Pepper Entertainment, will wrap up in Pensacola, FL at Saenger Theatre on February 5, 2023.
The tour features the beloved husband and wife alongside their daughter, Lily Pearl.
“Having my family on the road is the best and the reactions have been everything we hoped they would be!” Black previously shared.
On the first leg of the tour, Clint and his daughter Lily Pearl joined forces for an epic cover of Carrie Underwood’s “Cry Pretty,” a track from Underwood’s sixth studio album of the same name.
At the time, Lily, who donned a sparkling silver dress, put her powerhouse vocals on full display while belting out the lyrics to the chart-topping Underwood hit alongside her famous father, who was playing guitar.
Both legs of The Mostly Hits & The Mrs. Tour are a result of their PBS Special that began airing in June.
Clint Black was recently presented with 60 Million-Air award by BMI to celebrate 60 million broadcast performances of his songs. He was also awarded a plaque commemorating 38 billion audience airplay impressions.
“This is one of the most moving and exciting things that has happened to me since my daughter was born,” Black shared at the time. “From the beginning of my recording career, I was determined to write my own songbook, one that would last the test of time. These awards validate for me everything I thought I was doing. Thank you BMI, Luminate, RIAA and most of all country radio and the fans.”
Black is a celebrated artist with 22 No.1 hits and 31 Top 10 singles. To date, he has sold more than 20 million records and has been recognized with many awards and nominations, including a GRAMMY Award.
