Country music artist Megan Moroney was forced to stop her concert in Denver, Colorado, on [Date Not Specified] after falling ill just two songs into her set. The 28-year-old singer became visibly upset, tears welling up as she announced to the Ball Arena audience that she was too sick to continue.
"This is obviously the last thing I want to do, but I am obviously extremely sick, and I thought I did everything to make myself better and then obviously two songs in, I just can't play this show tonight," Moroney told the crowd, her voice hoarse, according to fan footage shared on social media. She promised to reschedule the show, stating, "I will make it up to you guys. I absolutely promise I'll be back. You'll be able to come. But I wanna give you guys the show you deserve."
The audience responded with cheers of encouragement as Moroney expressed her apologies.
Moroney is currently on her Cloud 9 Tour. Her cancellation comes amid a recent trend of country music artists stepping away from touring for various reasons.
