Some fans believe Morgan Wallen is actually dealing with a different issue other than strained vocals.

When Morgan pulled out of his April 23 show, it was very abrupt, meaning that most ticket holders were already in their seats when they found out the show was canceled.

That said, it appears that some upset fans at the venue did a little investigating into why Morgan canceled that show. In a TikTok video, a man who appears to be a security guard at the venue reveals that Morgan couldn't do the show because he couldn't walk.

"Losing his voice is bull crap. He was once too under the influence of alcohol and the ambulance took him off," the person stated.

As of at the moment, this is only a rumor as we can not ascertain that the security guard was telling the truth. However, for the reason that Morgan has had to cancel so many more shows, it's not likely that the April 23 cancellation used to be because of in the future of ingesting an excessive amount of. We're certain his fans are hoping for a rapid recovery and taking a look ahead to seeing Morgan back on the degree.
