"To all my friends in Corpus Christi, Houston, and Lafayette, I am very sorry to let you all know that I am unable to perform this weekend's shows. I have bronchitis and laryngitis, and on doctor's orders am on vocal rest through the weekend in order to heal," Stapleton said in a statement.

"I'm grateful for your patience and understanding, and hope to see you all in November," he added.

Stapleton originally kicked off his All American Road Show tour in 2017. He will conclude the most recent leg of the tour Oct. 28 in Dallas and resume touring in May 2024.

The singer was previously forced to postpone a concert in New York in June due to smoke from the Canadian wildfires.
