What happened at Megan Moroney's Denver concert?
The 28-year-old country singer was forced to cancel her Colorado concert mid-set on Tuesday night. According to Page Six, Moroney performed "Stupid," "Medicine" and "Bless Your Heart" at Ball Arena before appearing visibly emotional, apologizing, and leaving the stage.
Fan-recorded video shared on social media captured the moment. Addressing the audience, Moroney said: "I am obviously extremely sick, and I thought I did everything to make myself better, and obviously, two songs in, I just can't play this show tonight."
"I want to give you guys the show you deserve … I'm sorry," she added while fighting back tears.
Why did Megan Moroney cancel the Denver show?
Illness forced the cutoff. Moroney told fans she had tried to recover enough to perform, but realized early in the set that she could not continue. In an Instagram Story posted shortly afterward, she wrote that she was "quite literally bawling my eyes out in my dressing room" and that canceling hurt because she never wants to disappoint her audience.
"I'm so sorry to cancel the show tonight," she shared. "I never ever will give you guys a show that is not 100% and by song 3 I knew that I was not capable of giving that to you tonight."
She also said canceling was "the hardest decision I've ever had to make" and that she had "never had to do this."
Will ticket holders get a new date or refunds?
Yes. Moroney announced the Denver date has been rescheduled for Aug. 27. "I will be back August 27, and all tickets purchased for tonight's show will be honored for the new date," she wrote. Fans who cannot attend the new date can seek refunds at the point of purchase.
Supporters at Ball Arena largely responded with sympathy online, with several posting well wishes and saying they hoped she feels better soon. The "Tennessee Orange" hitmaker has been touring in support of her latest album, "Cloud 9."
What's next on the Cloud 9 Tour?
Moroney is next scheduled to perform Saturday at the Moda Center in Portland, Ore. Page Six reported it is not immediately clear whether that show will go ahead as planned before the tour continues with stops in Seattle, Sacramento and Los Angeles.
