Mark Chesnutt was unable to perform his scheduled show over the weekend due to a temporary health setback.
The ‘90s country music icon, 62, was supposed to entertain folks in a live outdoor setting at Luckenbach, Texas, in Fredericksburg, TX, on Saturday, June 6, but the evening didn’t go as planned. Instead, Summer Dean, who was already on the bill, performed a free two-hour set, and ticketholders were automatically refunded at their point of purchase.
The official Facebook page of the music venue shared a post hours before the show was set to kick off, citing a ‘temporary loss of [Chesnutt’s] voice’ as the reason behind the singer’s abrupt concert cancellation.
“Hi Folks, Unfortunately, the Mark Chesnutt show scheduled for tonight on June 6th, will be canceled due to the temporary loss of his voice and at this time will not be rescheduled,” the post reads, alongside a promotional image of Chesnutt.
The caption continued, “All ticket sales purchased directly from Luckenbach will be automatically refunded. We apologize for any inconvenience, and wish Mark a speedy recovery. Tonight, Summer Dean will be taking the dancehall stage from 7 pm-9 pm! There will be no cover, and I hope to see you folks out!”
Chesnutt’s concert at Luckenbach, Texas, was supposed to be a highlight of his career as it marked his official headline debut at the venue. However, leading up to the nixed show, Chesnutt was allegedly already showing concerning vocal strain, according to some fans who pointed out his previous gig, which took place just two days earlier.
“Saw him in Paris [on] Thursday and you could tell he was struggling,” one fan wrote in the comments section of the post, while another person added, “He talked about allergies bothering him when we saw him Thursday in Paris!”
Meanwhile, a third person added, “He played here in Paris, Texas [on] Thursday night and made a comment about it being breezy … hopefully, he didn’t catch anything from here.”
This isn’t the first time Chesnutt has had to bow out of a string of concerts. In the fall of 2025, he was hospitalized and then forced to cancel a round of performances. In 2024, he underwent emergency heart surgery, which led to a series of canceled dates.
At this point, it is unclear how long Chesnutt’s vocal issues will keep him off the road, as his tour calendar still shows performances scheduled throughout the summer. For a complete list of concert dates, visit Mark Chesnutt’s official website.
