CHARLOTTE — Country music superstar Morgan Wallen has postponed his Charlotte shows due to sickness.

Wallen was scheduled to play Bank of America Stadium on July 18 and 19.

“I hate to reschedule shows but I powered through being sick in Tampa last night, and unfortunately woke up feeling way worse today,” Wallen said in a post on social media Friday afternoon.

Wallen said he plans to move the Charlotte shows to Oct. 18 and 19. He also rescheduled his show in Tampa on Friday to Oct. 4.

According to a post made by concert promoter Live Nation, all previously purchased tickets for the July 18 concert will be honored on Oct. 18 and all previously purchased tickets for the July 19 concert will be honored on the Oct. 19 date. The post said more information would be emailed to ticket purchasers directly.

Ticket refund information was not made immediately available.

Wallen is the second star to cancel a Charlotte show recently. Willie Nelson recently canceled his appearance at the Outlaw Music Festival because the singer was ”not feeling well, and per doctor’s orders, has been advised to rest for the next four days.”
