Keith Urban is under doctor’s orders to cancel his performance originally set for tomorrow, October 16, in Greenville, SC.

According to a statement from the Bon Secours Wellness Arena’s official Facebook page, the country superstar is battling laryngitis that developed earlier this week. The post explains that Urban’s longtime laryngologist, Dr. Gaelyn Garrett from the Vanderbilt Voice Center has instructed him to rest his voice and take time off to recover.

By canceling this performance and getting complete vocal rest, Dr. Garrett is “optimistic” that the superstar will be able to return to the stage in time for his following show in Nashville, TN at Bridgestone arena on Friday (Oct. 17).

The statement states that any fans who purchased tickets for the Greenville concert through Ticketmaster will receive an automatic refund.

“There is nothing further ticketholders need to do. If you purchased from a third-party reseller, please reach out to your point of purchase.”

The post also included a statement from Urban in which he apologized to fans who will no longer get to see him take the stage as part of his High And Alive World Tour.

He wrote, “Hey Greenville, I’m so SO sorry to have to cancel the show…I know all the logistics it takes to get to a concert these days and I’ve never taken any of that, or any of YOU for granted. I’m looking forward to getting back there when we can!!!!!”

After decades of performing around the world, the Australian singer/songwriter has developed a strong passion for creating the best live show possible for his loyal fans. He takes great pride in his mission to bring energy and emotion to each show because for him, touring is about more than just showcasing his music. It’s about connecting with fans on a deeper level and making the duration of his concerts unforgettable for everyone in attendance.

”When I think about touring, I just think about the two hours on stage. everything
else is whatever it is, but those two hours on stage is…every minute that we’re on stage is why everybody’s even out there,” Urban shared recently. “That’s why everyone’s backstage; that’s why there’s trucks everywhere; that’s why there’s guys up in the air rigging; that’s why there’s caterers; that’s why people are parking cars; that’s why every single person is doing what they’re doing is just for that two hours that I’m on stage. And so, I’m only ever thinking about that being the best that it can be every single night.”
