As per reports, Brooks had said weeks ago that he would reassess the tour in case there is a surge in cases. Tickets will be refunded for shows scheduled in Cincinnati; Charlotte, North Carolina; Baltimore; Foxborough, Massachusetts, and Nashville, Tennessee. The musician had also planned to play in Seattle but declined to put tickets on sale.
Brooks confirmed the decision in the latest statement released on Wednesday. “In July, I sincerely thought the pandemic was falling behind us. Now, watching this new wave, I realise we are still in the fight and I must do my part,” the musician said, adding he is hopeful that he can resume touring before the end of the year and reschedule those tour dates.
Brooks, who is one of the biggest selling entertainers in music, restarted touring in July.
