On Wednesday, Bryan shared the news that he needed to back out of the Country Jam. He wrote on social media, “I’m really sorry to say I won’t be able to play this weekend’s shows due to continued illness. I’ve been hoping to rally, but my voice is just not there yet.” As for the singer taking his spot, Bryan added, “Huge thanks to my buddy Eric Church for stepping in last minute — and of course, putting on a kick ass show like he always does. Sitting still is not what I do best so I can’t wait to be back soon.”
