Country Music Hall Of Famer Marty Stuart Seriously Injured in Nashville Ice Fall, Forced to Postpone Shows
“The worst part of it all is I can’t play the guitar or the mandolin, at the moment,” he says.
Country legend Marty Stuart has been sidelined and forced to postpone concerts after a fall on the ice left him with a hand injury and a sprained wrist.
The longtime Grand Ole Opry member shared the unfortunate news on social media, revealing that he is currently unable to play the guitar or mandolin.
“Well, there’s the slow hand – the Mojo Hand, the Winning Hand, the Unseen Hand, the Hard Working Hand, and then I fell down on a patch of ice and did an excellent job of hurting my hand and spraining my wrist, complete with a state-of-the-art hairline fracture. Good job, Marty!” he wrote.
The “Hillbilly Rock” singer is thankfully on the mend, though it will be some time before he’s back to full strength.
“It’s getting better by the day. The worst part of it all is I can’t play the guitar or the mandolin, at the moment,” he revealed.
Stuart asked fans to “please pardon” the “cancellations and inconveniences” and promised that he and The Superlatives will “return in full force just as soon as possible.”
“Meanwhile, stay safe, everybody,” he concluded.
The post included a caption with further guidance for fans:
“Updates for February shows are coming soon, please keep an eye out on socials and your email. For any refund information, please contact your point of purchase. Stay safe, everyone!”
Fans flooded the comments section, sharing well wishes for Stuart.
“You are so good you could probably learn to pick with your feet! Get well soon,” one fan pointed out.
Another shared, “Prayers for you Marty Stuart, speedy recovery and good health.”
According to Marty Stuart’s official website, his next scheduled tour date is set for Thursday. March 19 in Lexington, Kentucky.
Marty Stuart’s fall came during the historic winter storm that struck Nashville on January 25, 2026. The storm left hundreds of thousands without power and continues to have lingering effects, with some Nashville Electric Service customers still in the dark.
Some local school districts have been out since the storm, while Metro Nashville Schools returned to class on Tuesday (Feb. 3).
