Country music superstar Morgan Wallen isn’t happy with speculation surrounding his last-minute concert cancellation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Saturday night.
Wallen dropped a video statement on social media explaining his decision to cancel the concert, which came due to concerns about severe weather.
He pointed to his stage setup and the complexity of the massive production.

Wallen wanted to “clear the air” about the cancellation and any rumors that surfaced just days after a piano flipping incident in Denver.
“All right, y’all. This morning, my team walked on my bus, told me that they had been consulting with local officials and that I should cancel my show in Pittsburgh tonight,” Wallen said. “And I said, why? They said that there was going to be strong winds in the area. And I said, OK. So that’s what I did. And that was the information I had in the moment. And I trusted my team.
“I understand that that wind and whatever else hasn’t gotten to Pittsburgh yet. I know it has touched some of Pennsylvania, so my heart goes out to all those affected by it. But the truth of the matter is I have a large stage that in those conditions could become fatal to a lot of folks around it. So I did the best I could with the information I had in that moment. I’ve been seeing a lot of nonsense about me that is simply not true, and I just wanted to clear the air. I think my true fans know that that’s not how I operate in general, but I had to say it. Y’all take care.”
Wallen’s “Still The Problem Tour” will resume at Soldier Field in Chicago on Friday, June 19, and Saturday, June 20.
