Keith Urban has cancelled one of the upcoming dates on his High and Alive World Tour.
The singer will no longer perform his scheduled show in Greenville, South Carolina, on Thursday after coming down with laryngitis.
The Bon Secours Wellness Arena shared the news on social media, explaining that Urban’s doctor had instructed him to rest his voice completely.
“Keith Urban has been advised by his longtime laryngologist, Dr Gaelyn Garrett from the Vanderbilt Voice Centre, to cancel his performance in Greenville, SC tomorrow night at Bon Secours Wellness Arena due to laryngitis which began earlier this week,” the statement read.
“He has been placed on complete vocal rest and Dr Garrett is optimistic that he will be back onstage for his (17 October) Nashville show.”
Urban expressed his regret in a personal message to fans. “Hey Greenville, I’m so, so sorry to have to cancel the show,” he said. “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!”
This is one of Urban’s first public statements since news surfaced in late September that he and his wife Nicole Kidman are divorcing.
