A Morgan Wallen fan sued the country singer Monday for canceling a concert minutes before showtime.

Burcham is suing for breach of contract and negligence in addition to demanding a jury trial.

“Completely disappointed in @MorganWallen! You’ve been sitting in this stadium for 3 hours and just announced that the show is cancelled! COMPLETE BULLS–T!!!” a fan tweeted.
“You don’t cancel a show 5 minutes before show time. Period. If he was sick or had no voice, he knew it long before. Regrettable,” another wrote.
“I’m not even that mad about not seeing Morgan Wallen because I’ve seen him before. What frustrates me the most is the fact that they knew this before the concert and let over 80k people buy liquor and merch before canceling so everyone got their money’s worth,” a third concertgoer tweeted, misrepresenting the Ole Miss football stadium. number of places.
Wallen later wrote on his Instagram Stories that he was “very sorry” and had “tried everything [he] could” feel better in time for the performance.
In a second message Monday, the former “The Voice” contestant announced that he had been placed on “medical-ordered voice rest” and therefore had to reschedule three additional stops on his tour.
“I appreciate and understand everything you do to get to my shows, so it would be unfair of me to put on a show that I know won’t be 100% there,” he continued. “I’m doing everything I can to speed up the process of getting to that 100% mark.”
Wallen is no stranger to controversy, having been caught yelling the N-word on camera during a drunken night out in 2021. He later apologized for using the racial slur, which hasn’t affected his music sales or streaming numbers.
