Aldean announced on his website that he’s cancelling his Oct. 6 concert in Los Angeles, CA., his Oct. 7 concert in San Diego, CA., and his Oct. 8 concert in Anaheim, CA. He is refunding the money for all of his ticket holders.
The singer released a statement to fans, “As a result of what happened in Las Vegas this week, we have decided to cancel this coming weekend’s shows. I feel like out of respect for the victims, their families and our fans, it is the right thing to do. It has been an emotional time for everyone involved this week, so we plan to take some time to mourn the ones we have lost and be close with our family and friends.”
His tour is set to resume on October 12 in Tulsa, OK
.
He ended simply: “Thank You and God Bless.”
“Tonight has been beyond horrific. I still don’t know what to say but wanted to let everyone know that me and my crew are safe. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved tonight. It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night,” he said. “#heartbroken #stopthehate.”
A day after the horrific events, Aldean called for unity among a polarized country.
“Over the last 24 hrs I have gone through lots of emotions. Scared, Anger, Heartache, Compassion and many others. I truely dont understand why a person would want to take the life of another. Something has changed in this country and in this world lately that is scary to see,” Aldean said.
“This world is becoming the kind of place i am afraid to raise my children in.”
Our hearts go out to Aldean, the victims and all of their families…
