Popular country music star Clint Black has been forced to cancel a show in Choctaw, Mississippi. The cancellation is due to an unfortunate medical emergency.
Grammy Award-nominated Black, 64, is known best for singles like 1993’s “A Bad Goodbye” (with Wynonna Judd), 1996’s “Like the Rain,” and 1997’s “Something That We Do.”
He is currently on his “Back on the Blacktop” tour and was due to perform at the Pearl River Resort Casino on Friday, July 3. However, having been admitted to hospital on Sunday, June 28, with a painful condition, he has no choice but to miss the scheduled date.
His team took to social media to make the disappointing announcement to his fans.
