Morgan Wallen Postpones Next Six Weeks of Tour Dates, and Cancels ACMs Appearance, After Being Put on Vocal Rest

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Morgan Wallen took to his Instagram account Tuesday to release a video statement saying that he is having to put off his next six weeks of tour dates — plus a scheduled appearance in just two days on the Academy of Country Music Awards telecast — after doctors ordered him to go on vocal rest.

Wallen had already recently canceled some dates, but returned to the road for three shows this past weekend, which he said felt ruinous and precipitated a return to the doctor.

The dates will be postponed and rescheduled, the country star told fans in the glum video. “I got some bad news from my doctors at the Vanderbilt Voice Center yesterday, after taking 10 days of vocal rest,” Wallen said. “I performed three shows last weekend in Florida, and by the third one, I felt terrible.

So I went in and got scoped yesterday and they told me that I re-injured my vocal chords and that I have vocal fold trauma. Their advice is that I go on vocal rest for six weeks.
