Beloved Pop Star Says He's ‘Physically Unable to Perform' After Illness, Cancels Show
Charlie Puth has made the difficult decision to cancel one of his tour stops.
The singer-songwriter took to Instagram Stories on Saturday, June 6, to share the news with fans, revealing that his scheduled performance in Orlando, Florida, that same day would no longer go ahead as planned.
"I am so devastated to do this, but I have to cancel tonight's show," Puth, 34, wrote. "I've been sick for the last few days and am now being instructed to rest or else risk canceling more dates on this tour."
The four-time Grammy nominee stressed that performing remains one of his greatest joys, making the decision all the more heartbreaking.
"Performing for you all each night means everything to me, and you all deserve the best," he continued. "I'm heartbroken, but I physically am unable to perform. Without a voice, I can't give you guys the show you all deserve. I'm so sorry, this was not an easy decision to make but I hope to see you all soon when I am well again."
Puth is currently traveling the globe on his Whatever's Clever! Tour, which kicked off in April and is set to wrap on July 30 in Warsaw, Poland, with several U.S. dates still on the schedule.

Unfortunately, Puth isn't the only artist to face unexpected disruptions this month.
Earlier that same day Morgan Wallen canceled the second of his two Pittsburgh shows due to severe weather concerns. "After talking with local officials and my team, there is no choice but to cancel tonight's show due to severe adverse weather conditions expected throughout the rest of the day and night," he shared on Instagram.
Meanwhile, Rosalía was forced to postpone the Florida leg of her Lux tour because of what venues described as a "family emergency."
"She is sorry to disappoint her fans, but the circumstances have left her with no other choice," a statement shared by Miami's Kaseya Center read.
Hopefully, healthier days-and fewer postponements-are around the corner.
