After his recent destructive onstage moment<\/a> went viral, Morgan Wallen is clearing the air about Saturday\u2019s canceled Pittsburgh show.<\/p>\n

The 2x Grammy nominee called out \u201cnonsense\u201d rumors about why he pulled out of the stop on his Still the Problem Tour, following a video from last week\u2019s Denver show, in which he flipped a piano<\/a> amid technical difficulties.<\/p>\n

More from Deadline<\/p>\n

\u201cThis 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, and I said, \u2018Why?’\u201d he recounted on his Instagram Story. \u201cThey said that there was going to be strong winds in the area, and I said, \u2018OK.\u2019 So, that\u2019s what I did. And that was the information I had in that moment, and I trusted my team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acknowledging that the wind \u201chasn\u2019t gotten to Pittsburgh yet,\u201d Wallen sent his best to those affected in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Wallen continued, \u201cBut 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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been seeing a lot of nonsense about me that is simply not true, and I just wanted to clear the air,\u201d he said. \u201cI think my true fans know that that\u2019s not how I operate in general, but I had to say it. Y\u2019all take care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Wallen announced the cancellation in a statement on his Insta Story. \u201cAfter talking with local officials and my team, there is no choice but to cancel tonight\u2019s show due to severe adverse weather conditions expected throughout the rest of the day and night,\u201d he posted. \u201cSafety for my fans and crew is the highest priority. Refunds available at point of purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wallen kicked off his 11-city I\u2019m Still the Problem Tour in April at Minneapolis\u2019 US Bank Stadium, his second tour supporting his fourth studio album I\u2019m the Problem (2025).<\/p>\n
