Just an hour before the much-awaited Birmingham concert was to commence, Benson Boone made the heart-wrenching announcement of its cancellation due to his ill health. In a poignant statement shared on his Instagram account, the American singer-songwriter expressed his profound apologies to his fans, confessing that he had "tried everything" to regain his voice but was unable to overcome the "condition of my throat".
Boone's performance at the city's Utilita Arena as part of his American Heart Tour was set to be a musical spectacle on Saturday evening. Despite his best efforts, he shared that he was working tirelessly with his team to find a suitable date for a rescheduled performance, promising, "I promise you I will do everything in my power to make it up to you."
In a parallel statement, the Utilita Arena also confirmed the cancellation, expressing their understanding of the disappointment it had caused and their sincere apologies for the "extremely short notice and inconvenience."
The fans were left with a bitter-sweet taste in their mouths as they awaited news on Boone's next three dates in London starting on Monday, which were supposed to bring the UK leg of his tour to a grand conclusion. The singer's next moves are yet to be confirmed, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his return to the stage with bated breath.
