LUKE Bryan has dropped out of concerts last minute due to a ‘continued illness’.
The former American Idol judge has been forced to rest due to a mystery condition.
Luke Bryan, 48, is one of the world’s best-selling country music artists, having sold over 75million records.
The star was meant to be playing gigs at the Country Stampede in Kansas, the NebraskaLand Days festival and Country Jam in Colorado this weekend.
However, the artist has announced that he has had to pull out of the scheduled shows.
He also revealed that he will be replaced by Eric Church who has ‘stepped in last minute’.
On his Instagram story, he wrote: “I’m really sorry to say I won’t be able to play this weekend’s shows due to continued illness.
“I’ve been hoping to rally, but my voice is just not there yet.”
He continued: “Huge thanks to my buddy @ericchurchmusic for stepping in last minute.
“And of course, putting on a kick ass show like he always does.”
Adding: “Sitting still is not what I do best so I can’t wait to be back soon. Love yall, Luke.”
As of time of writing, tickets are still advertised on his website for shows in July as he heads to Canada, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
After that, he will head to states such as South Carolina, Alabama, Wyoming, Missouri and North Dakota as part of his nationwide Farm Tour.
This is away from his role as part of the panel on American Idol, a role he has held since 2018.
The global sensation sits alongside the likes of Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood on the Ryan Seacrest fronted talent show.
We previously reported that he jumped to his co-stars defence behind the scenes as Carrie ‘struggled’ to adapting to being a judge.
