Although dedicating years to helping judge on American Idol alongside Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan never forgot about his own career. While thrilled to watch aspiring artists capture their dreams, he also looked to expand his own stardom. And on May 29th, the country singer kicked off his Country Song Came On Tour. But with the tour only kicking off a few weeks ago, it appeared the schedule had impacted the singer’s voice.

Having a singer struggle to get through a performance isn’t new in the music industry. Due to rigorous schedules and sleepless nights, countless groups and singers had to cancel concerts to focus on their own health. But for Bryan, he wasn’t about to disappoint fans who came to see him perform. Knowing the time and money fans give to see him on stage, he made sure to make it up to them.
In a video making its rounds on TikTok, Bryan walked to the center of the stage to apologize to fans about losing his voice. “This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever dealt with in my life. I cannot have my voice in this venue for some reason. It happens every time, I don’t know why. But… you guys keep showing up year after year to see me put on a show.”

Luke Bryan Continues Show Even After Refunding Tickets
While some thought Bryan was going to end the show and try and save his voice from completely going out, the country singer had other plans. “You know I saw Luke Combs do this years ago. When he was having a weird night on stage. And I said, ‘You know what, that’s really cool.’ So, I don’t give a damn, I’m going to refund everybody’s tickets tonight.”
With fans roaring in excitement, Bryan didn’t just refund their tickets for the night, making the concert free, he promised he would continue to perform. “We’re going to keep doing the damn show okay.”
Not only did the fans in attendance cheer on Bryan, but online, comments read, “True artists right there!!! Really cares about his fans and doesn’t want to waste their money.” Another person suggested allergies played a part in the singer losing his voice. “I never had allergies till I moved to NWA. And I grew up in the Deep South. It’s something it the air here that gets people every time.”
No matter what caused him to lose his voice, fans in attendance received a special treat as Bryan offered them a completely free show.
