Dierks Bentley is ready to get back to work after breaking a few bones in his hand.

Taking to Instagram to share a quick health update with his fans, Bentley showed off his new cast after performing a mini acoustic session with his 10-year-old daughter, Evelyn Day (Evie).

Sitting on a porch with a picturesque view overlooking the Colorado mountains, Bentley and his eldest child sang Maren Morris’ megahit “My Church.” Evie showed off her impressive pipes while her father provided harmonies.

After their impromptu jam session, Bentley addressed fans directly to let them know he had sustained a few injuries but had no plans to cancel his upcoming tour dates.

“What’s up y’all? [I’m] totally fine… broke a few bones but its just bones, they heal pretty easily,” the superstar shared. “I can do everything I want to do. I’m actually more than fine, I’m great and I cannot want to get back out with y’all. [I] guess there is some concern as to whether I would be on the road. I can’t wait! I’m so fired up to get back out there.”

The award-winning star reportedly sustained the injuries in a bicycle accident.

Bentley’s upcoming appearances planned for Oshkosh, WI (June 28), Skyline Villiage, MI (June 29) and Syracuse, NY (June 30) will go on as scheduled.
