Chris Stapleton Postpones Shows

Chris Stapleton has issued a statement about his eight postponed shows, citing a broken bone and detached tendon in one of his index fingers as the cause. He apologized to fans for the inconvenience and stressed that he was already on the road to recovery.

“The doctor is hopeful that with some physical therapy I will be playing guitar again soon,” he shared on Facebook, along with a picture of the injured hand. “Right now, I can’t possibly give you guys the show you deserve. I always want to give you my very best.”

Dear Everybody, First of all, I want to thank you for all of the positive thoughts and kind words you have shared over the last few days. So many of you have been inconvenienced and I'm grateful for your patience and graciousness. After seeing a specialist, I have some information to share. I’m on the road to recovery from a broken bone & a detached tendon in my right index finger. The doctor is hopeful that with some physical therapy I will be playing guitar again soon. Right now, I can't possibly give you guys the show you deserve. I always want to give you my very best. There is little in this world that I enjoy more than getting to make music with all of you night after night. Thank you for the privilege. Your support and understanding through all of this lets me know now, more than ever, I have the best fans in the world. Sincerely, Chris Stapleton
