Jason Aldean's concert scheduled for Thursday evening (July 20) in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio was abruptly postponed.
The concert will now be held in September, according to information shared by the venue.
A statement from the Blossom Music Center revealed that severe thunderstorms in the area forced the sudden postponement. WKYC reports that fans were asked to immediately shelter in place at approximately 6:30 pm. Doors were delayed and then the concert was suddenly postponed.
The show will now take place on Sunday, September 17 and all tickets will be honored for the new date.
Aldean's Highway Desperado Tour, featuring special guests Mitchell Tenpenny and Corey Kent, is off to a rocky start.
Last weekend was opening weekend and the singer experienced heat exhaustion in the middle of his concert in Hartford, Connecticut at the Xfinity Theatre. He suddenly fell ill and ran off the stage mid-set.
The concert was cut short with no explanation and guests were asked to exit the venue.
A statement from the venue later confirmed that the show would be rescheduled and hours later, Aldean shared a health update with fans.
"I've had a lot of people checking on me today after hearing about what happened last night at the show in Connecticut. Just wanted to let you know, thanks to everybody that's calling in, checking.
I'm doing fine," he said.
The Georgia native went on to explain that he had been playing golf all day before the show and that the extreme heat played into the situation.
"I think it was a combination of dehydration and just heat exhaustion," he explained. "So I hear a lot of stuff going around. Heat stroke, all this stuff. I don't think it was quite that serious, but it was pretty intense last night at the show."
While he tried his best to power through, Aldean ultimately decided to seek medical attention as he began feeling ill.
