Hate to hear this one…

’90s country legend Mark Chesnutt has been forced to cancel two concerts this week at the Blue Gate Performing Arts Center in Shipshewana, Indiana and Henderson, Tennessee after being hospitalized for undisclosed medical issues.

According to a statement (which has since been deleted) issued by his team, Mark was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday evening and is now in the Critical Care Unit, where he’s currently in stable condition.

The statement says that Mark is currently undergoing tests to identify the cause of his medical issues, and that further updates will be released once doctors have determined his condition.

“Mark and his management team regret we have had to cancel two shows this week. Mark was admitted to the hospital Wednesday evening and is now in the Critical Care Unit in stable condition. He is receiving care and undergoing multiple tests to identify the cause of his medical issues.

We would like to apologize to our fans that have always been so very supportive and hope you will keep Mark in your prayers. We will post more updates once the doctors determine his condition.”

Chesnutt was forced to take some time away from the road back in 2021 after being hospitalized to undergo back surgery, though he’s since returned to a full touring schedule and was playing in Texas just this past weekend before his hospitalization.

Here’s to hoping Mark’s able to make a full and speedy recovery.
