OXFORD, Miss. (AP) \u2014 Thousands of country music fans were awaiting singer Morgan Wallen when he suddenly canceled his performance Sunday night at Vaught Hemingway Stadium.<\/p>\n
WTVA-TV reported<\/a> video boards inside the Ole Miss football stadium showed a message saying the \u201cThought You Should Know\u201d singer had lost his voice and was unable to perform, adding that people would be refunded their money where they bought the tickets.<\/p>\n Some people expressed anger on social media because the announcement of the cancellation came after the opening acts had performed.<\/p>\n While Wallen is one of country music’s biggest stars, he’s no stranger to controversy. He was caught on camera<\/a> in 2021 outside a home in Nashville, Tennessee, yelling profanities and a racial slur. He apologized at the time but was suspended indefinitely from his label and his music was pulled by radio stations and streaming services.<\/p>\n The year before, Wallen was arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct after getting kicked out of a downtown Nashville bar.<\/p>\n The sudden cancellation concluded what was supposed to be two consecutive nights of performances by one of the hottest stars in country music. Saturday night\u2019s show appeared to be a huge success with thousands showing up for the first concert in the stadium\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
