And today, Hank took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the matter, to thank fans for the support, and announce that he will continue to tour despite this awful tragedy.

The family has encouraged me to perform this weekend. Not only is it healing, but I do not want to disappoint my fans who have purchased tickets.”
