After announcing his brief break from touring, Chris Stapleton is addressing the issue behind his sudden decision with his fans on social media.
The country crooner has been forced to postpone eight U.S. tour stops after suffering a “broken bone and a detached tendon in [his] right index finger.”
“The doctor is hopeful that with some physical therapy I will be playing guitar again soon,” he continued. “Right now, I can’t possibly give you guys the show you deserve. I always want to give you my very best.”
The 39-year-old singer has postponed the next three weeks of his All-American Road Show tour and will no longer perform at the 2017 CMA Music Festival on June 11.
In a statement posted to his website, Stapleton’s team apologized for the inconvenience, but told fans to hold onto their tickets as they work to reschedule his eight scheduled shows between June 1 and 17.
CMA Music Fest tweeted on Wednesday that his performance was cancelled due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
Stapleton performed his single, “Either Way,” on the season finale of The Voice last week.
