Jon Pardi Forced to Postpone Two Shows as He Fights Through Illness

Jon Pardi is postponing his upcoming shows in Macon, GA, and Biloxi, MS, after revealing he is too sick to take the stage for his remaining shows this weekend.

The country star took to social media on Friday afternoon, sharing a video message that explains he is feeling “very sick” and felt rescheduling the two shows was the best option rather than take the stage and risk not giving his best possible performance.

“Unfortunately, this is news I don’t like giving. I’m going to have to reschedule Macon, Georgia and Biloxi Mississippi this weekend. I’m very sick,” he admitted.

Pardi performed in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Thursday night but said he was barely able to make it through the performance.

“I gave it all I had last night and I want to be 100% for everybody. So I apologize. I know you probably got hotels, babysitters, and I want to get the news out as soon as possible to not have you guys drive everywhere.”

Apologizing once again, Pardi reiterated how he did not want to take the stage while “struggling, sick, coughing up music and blowing my nose.” He added that it’s been “tough” trying to overcome the sickness while pushing through on the road.

The California native was originally scheduled to bring his Gamblin’ Man Tour to the Atrium Health Amphitheater in Macon, GA on Oct. 2 followed by the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, MS on Oct. 3. Both of these dates will be rescheduled, and all tickets will be honored at the new dates to be announced or refunds available at point of purchase. More information will be shared soon.

“I appreciate all of you and thanks for understanding. And like I said, we’re working on getting rescheduled dates, so hold on your tickets…We’re going to get emails out and just hold onto everything. I’m coming back. It ain’t canceled, we’re just rescheduled because I don’t want to be up there not feeling well. So I appreciate it once again and stay tuned. I’ll keep you informed all day. Thank you,” Pardi said concluding his message.

The Gamblin’ Man Tour launched on September 17 and is slated to continue through November 14, with the final show taking place in Independence, MO. Joining Jon Pardi on the run is Alexandra Kay and Sadie Bass.
