Benson Boone cancelled one of his shows in Birmingham less than one hour before he was meant to go on stage.
The singer was meant to perform at the Utilita Arena on Saturday as part of his ‘American Heart’ World Tour, and shared on his Instagram story that the show needed to be rescheduled.
His statement said, “I am so sorry but I will not be able to perform tonight, I have tried everything I can to revive my voice, but I cannot give you the show I’d like to be able to give you with the condition of my throat right now.”
He continued by saying, “This is genuinely the crappiest feeling, I am so sorry, I promise you I will do everything in my power to make it up to you. I’ll update you guys as soon as I can. Thank you for everything you do. I love you guys so much.”
The venue also released a statement confirming the concert was cancelled and that they were “working through all possible options to reschedule.”
“We understand how disappointing this is and sincerely apologise for the extremely short notice and inconvenience caused.”

The cancellation of the show comes a few days after the singer performed in Glasgow, and videos circulated on TikTok with Benson Boone complaining about his voice.
Other TikTok videos recorded after the concert in Glasgow show a member of his team informing the crowd that he couldn’t speak to them as he is ill and he would be examined by a doctor.
“As you guys know, Benson is a little ill. He can’t say a single word. He has to go and see a doctor tomorrow so that he can perform in Birmingham.”
“He’ll come out and wave at you guys. He can’t sign anything or take personal pictures. I told him we weren’t even going to come out here but you know how he is, he is nicer than I am. He wants to make sure he acknowledges you guys. But, he has to save his voice.”
