There’s some bad news for Garth Brooks fans. The singer just announced that he’s canceling the rest of his 2021 Stadium Tour dates due to the spike in COVID cases across the country.

“In July, I sincerely thought the pandemic was falling behind us,” Garth shared. “Now, watching this new wave, I realize we are still in the fight and I must do my part.”

In total Garth has canceled five shows in Cincinnati, Ohio, Charlotte, North Carolina, Baltimore, Maryland, Foxborough, Massachusetts and Nashville, Tennessee (that original show was rained out last month), and since they are canceled and not postponed, ticketholders will automatically receive refunds.

Garth added that he was making the announcement with a “heavy heart,” but added he also had a “hopeful heart,” noting, “we will reschedule and start over when this wave seems to be behind us.”
