The 33-year-old country music singer announced the news via his Instagram Stories on Saturday, June 6, and cited “adverse weather conditions” as the deciding factor.
Morgan informed fans that refunds would be given. However, others are still curious about his recent tour activity after the “One Night” singer flipped a piano on stage while experiencing technical difficulties.
Here’s what we know about Morgan’s second cancellation for Pittsburgh.
Why was Morgan Wallen’s concert in Pittsburgh cancelled?
Morgan announced that weather conditions were the reason behind canceling his show on June 6.
“After speaking with local officials and my team, there is no choice but to cancel tonight’s show due to inclement weather conditions expected throughout the rest of the day and night,” he wrote in an announcement on Instagram Stories. “The safety of my fans and staff is the top priority.”
In an Instagram Stories video, Morgan insisted that local officials told his team they had to cancel his concert.
“This morning, my team got on the bus and they told me that they were consulting with local officials and that I had to cancel my show in Pittsburgh tonight, and I was like, ‘Why?'” the Tennessee native recalls in the clip. “They said there would be strong winds in the area, so I said, ‘Okay.’” So, that’s what I did at that moment, trusting my team.
“The fact of the matter is,” Morgan stressed, “which is that he had a ‘big stage that, under those circumstances, could become lethal to a lot of people around him. So, I did the best I could with the information I had at that moment.’
Was the weather bad in Pittsburgh that night?
Although officials told Morgan’s team that high winds were coming, fans became frustrated once the weather improved. Many criticized Morgan for the cancellation, and many took to social media to call him out.
KDKA Radio’s Marty Griffin tweeted that evening, “BREAKING NEWS: Morgan Wallen’s show canceled! Acrysor Stadium officials outraged. Sources confirm… Wallen left town on plane before they had a meeting and demanded cancellation be announced after it was on the air [sic]”.
Online outrage also revisited Morgan’s controversial onstage moment one week earlier, when he flipped over on the piano after experiencing technical difficulties.
Morgan addressed the backlash to his show being canceled in his Instagram Stories video, calling the backlash “bullshit.”
“I’ve seen a lot of bullshit about me that’s simply not true, and I just wanted to clear the air,” Morgan explained in the video. “I think my true fans know that’s not how I generally work, but I had to say it.”
