Country music<\/a> superstar Morgan Wallen isn\u2019t happy with speculation surrounding his last-minute concert cancellation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Wallen dropped a video statement on social media explaining his decision to cancel the concert, which came due to concerns about severe weather.<\/p>\n

He pointed to his stage setup and the complexity of the massive production.<\/p>\n

Wallen wanted to \u201cclear the air\u201d about the cancellation and any rumors that surfaced just days after a piano flipping incident in Denver.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll right, y\u2019all. 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,\u201d Wallen said. \u201cAnd I said, why? They said that there was going to be strong winds in the area. And I said, OK. So that\u2019s what I did. And that was the information I had in the moment. And I trusted my team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand that that wind and whatever else hasn\u2019t 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\u2019ve 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\u2019s not how I operate in general, but I had to say it. Y\u2019all take care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wallen\u2019s \u201cStill The Problem Tour\u201d will resume at Soldier Field in Chicago on Friday, June 19, and Saturday, June 20.<\/p>\n
