Country Star, 64, Cancels Upcoming Missouri Concert Due to 'Medical Emergency'

Clint Black is recovering after a medical emergency.

The country singer, 64, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share that he’s canceling his Black on the Blacktop Tour stop in Choctaw, Missouri, after being hospitalized over the weekend with an infection in his tonsils.

“Clint Black’s performance at the Pearl River Resort Casino, scheduled for Friday, July 3, 2026, has been canceled due to a medical emergency,” the statement began. “Clint was admitted to the hospital on Sunday with infected tonsils requiring emergency intravenous antibiotic treatment.”

While the “Killin’ Time” singer’s team assured that Black is on the mend, the statement did note that country crooner is still receiving treatment, and “is expected to be discharged from the hospital later this week.”

“Clint and his management team sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this cancellation may cause. All tickets will be fully refunded from the original point of purchase,” it concluded.

The post was met with plenty of well wishes and words of encouragement for Black amid his reovery, with fellow singer Ernest writing, “Hang in, CB!” Comedian Theo Von also commented, writing, “Heal up, champ!,” as well as Black’s daughter, Lily, who kept her comment short and sweet, leaving behind three white heart emojis.

Black’s next tour stop is scheduled for July 9 in Minden, Nevada, and as of now, he’s set to perform. The country singer’s tour is slated to run through the summer and into the fall, with the final show taking place in Charles, Louisiana on November 14.

The multi-city tour comes amid a busy year for the “Like the Rain” performer, who released his memoir, Killin’ Time: My Life and Musc, in May.

In the book, Black details the ups and downs he’s experienced both in the public eye and away from it, including a myriad of health challenges he faced as kid.

“I was just a scrappy little kid, trying not to drown, finding my way into the nightclubs and then the record business,” Black said in an interview with People after the memoir’s release. “[I was] pushing through hurdle after hurdle, injury after injury, surgery after surgery, and all those things that happen in every life and continuing to strive for excellence.”

He added, “It’s a regular life, sometimes lived in the spotlight.”
