Morgan Wallen Reacts to “Nonsense” Rumors About Concert Cancellation

Morgan Wallen Addresses Flipping Over His Piano During Denver Concert

Morgan Wallen is certain the weather is the problem.

After the “I’m The Problem” singer abruptly canceled his June 6 show in Pittsburgh due to severe weather conditions, he responded to criticism suggesting that wasn’t the true reason behind the decision.

“I’ve been seeing a lot of nonsense about me that is simply not true,” Morgan said in a video shared to his Instagram Stories June 6, “and I just wanted to clear the air.”

“This morning, my team walked on the bus and told me they had been consulting with local officials and that I should cancel my show in Pittsburgh tonight, and I said, ‘Why?’” he recalled. “They said that there was going to be strong winds in the area, and I said, ‘OK.’ So, that is what I did in that moment, and I trusted my team.”

The country music star went on to explain that though high winds hadn’t reached Pittsburgh yet, it had hit nearby parts of Pennsylvania.

“The truth of the matter is, I have a large stage that, in those conditions, could become fatal to a lot of folks around it,” he explained. “So, I did the best I could with the information I had in that moment.”

He continued, “I think my true fans know that that’s not how I operate in general, but I had to say it.”

Earlier that day, the 33-year-old announced that his second Pittsburgh show of his Still The Problem Tour was canceled due to the threat of bad weather in the area—and that fans can expect refunds for the inconvenience.

“After talking with local officials and my team, there is no choice but to cancel tonight’s show due to severe adverse weather conditions expected throughout the rest of the day and night,” he wrote on Instagram Stories. “Safety for my fans and crew is the highest priority.”

Shortly after the announcement, social media users began speculating about other reasons he may have canceled the gig.

“Morgan wallen cancelling his show last night is just hilarious because i walked outside after my shift at 11pm and my car was completely dry,” one user wrote on X. “No rain in sight. that man was already on his way back to tennessee.”

Meanwhile, another X user speculated that Morgan “was already on the airplane and headed home when his Pittsburgh concert cancellation was announced.”

But this wouldn’t be the first time the “Cowgirls” hitmaker has drawn backlash while on tour. Recently, he pushed over a piano onstage in a moment of frustration after the instrument seemed to malfunction during his May 29 performance in Denver, Colorado.

Days later, Morgan addressed his behavior.

“Hey, I just want you guys to know that right now this piano is working,” he said in a June 2 TikTok, before the camera pans to a red piano. “And that’s what they told me last night, too.”

Wallen captioned his post, “Can’t you tell I’m so distraught over my piano.”
