\n\tNoah Kahan<\/a> gave an impassioned apology on stage to the fans who were affected by the cancellation of his show in New York City on Saturday (July 18).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI just want to apologize for the cancellation of our show last night,\u201d the singer-songwriter began earnestly during his Sunday (July 19) show in a video captured by Billboard. \u201cI know you guys were all here. I don\u2019t expect any sympathy at all. I am so f\u2013king sorry for the folks that stood all day in the rain and traveled. I\u2019ve been thinking about you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKahan had been scheduled to play two back-to-back concerts<\/a> at Citi Field in Queens, N.Y., but was forced to pull the plug on the first due to inclement weather. The following night\u2019s show proceeded as planned, aside from the moment he took between songs to address the fans in the city who were left disappointed the night prior.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve probably played about 500 shows, and I\u2019ve canceled six in my life, and they\u2019ve only ever been when we cannot do anything else but cancel the show,\u201d he continued. \u201cI promise you I would play in a f\u2013king volcano \u2014 in the hole of a volcano \u2014 for you all. I promise you we did everything we could, weird s\u2013t to try to reschedule it, and I\u2019m sorry, I just feel horrible. I\u2019m really sorry. You deserve better than that.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Vermont native\u2019s speech comes after an outpouring of posts and messages from frustrated fans who\u2019d waited through severe thunderstorms to see him play, just for the venue to announce the show had been canceled<\/a> shortly before doors were supposed to open. \u201cThis was a very difficult decision to make, but the first priority is always to keep everyone safe,\u201d stated Citi Field, which had initially issued an adjusted schedule for the show\u2019s start in the face of the inclement weather.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cExhausted every option to make this happen.. love you guys,\u201d Kahan also wrote at the time on his Story.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe musician has been on the road since mid-June, kicking off his tour supporting three-week Billboard 200<\/a>-topper The Great Divide in Orlando before making his way through Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and more U.S. cities. Following his halved stay in Queens, Kahan will continue on a North American leg before heading overseas to Australia in September and Europe in November.<\/p>\n

\n\tKahan wasn\u2019t the only artist whose tour schedule was impacted by the storms in New York. Zeds Dead also ended up postponing its Forest Hills Stadium performance from Saturday night to Aug. 14, writing in a statement, \u201cThe weather is just being too difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n
