Luke Bryan Can’t Talk, Scraps Weekend Performances

Luke Bryan isn't feeling well and had to scrap a couple of shows over the weekend and then canceled his headlining Watershed Festival performance slot yesterday (8/6). Luke posted the bad news to his fans on X (formerly Twitter).

Bryan wrote, "This is such a frustrating weekend. 'Shedders, I am sorry to let you down, but I am not back singing – can hardly even talk still. This festival is one of the most beautiful places we perform and one of the most fun crowds always. I know my friends on the show will bring a great time for you! Show them all what you got. Love ya - Luke."

Watershed also posted to Twitter announcing Bryan's canceled spot. They wrote on Sunday, "Tonight's Luke Bryan performance at Watershed Festival has been canceled due to illness. We are excited to welcome Lainey Wilson to the headlining slot. We will also be issuing a refund for 1/3 the base price of your Festival Wristband due to this lineup change."

Bryan had to reschedule a date in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Friday night (8/4) and outright canceled a Boise, Idaho, performance for Saturday night (8/5).

Last week, Luke debuted a new music video (7/31) for his latest single, "But I Got A Beer In My Hand." The video was shot in Springfield, Tennessee, by music, fashion, lifestyle, and celebrity photographer Jim Wright on Free Dreaming Farm.

It flows as a one-take video, beginning with Bryan getting a flat tire. He then catches a ride to a bar, joins his band on stage, and then moves through scenes in and around the bar. Everything wraps with Luke going back to join the band.

"But I Got A Beer In My Hand" is one of the fastest-rising singles of Bryan's career. The track moved into the Top 15 within 11 weeks of its launch. Luke debuted the song for television audiences on the season finale of American Idol in May.

Who has more fun than Luke Bryan? You can hear it on his songs, see it on his social media almost daily and also feel it when you see him perform live.
