It has been an emotional time for everyone involved this week, so we plan to take some time to mourn the ones we have lost and be close with our family and friends.”

Aldean will continue his tour in Tulsa, Oklahoma on October 12, 2017.

I hope everyone understands why we can’t play this weekend and I’m sorry if anyone is disappointed.”
