The rumors surrounding Morgan Wallen‘s ill-fated concert on Sunday in Oxford, Mississippi continue to fly.
Morgan canceled his performance on Sunday just before he was set to take the stage, revealing that he had lost his voice after his show Saturday night and despite working all day Sunday to get it back, wasn’t able to recover in time for the show:
“After last night’s show I started losing my voice so I spent the day resting up, talking to my doctor and working through my vocal exercises trying to get better.
I really thought I’d be able to take the stage and it kills me to deliver this so close to showtime, but my voice is shot and I am unable to sing.
All tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. I am so sorry, I promise you guys I tried everything I could.”
Immediately after the announcement, rumors began to fly on social media (because of course they did) that he may not have actually lost his voice at all.
Of course there’s no evidence that Morgan was out partying Saturday night, or that the cancelation was for any reason other than Morgan losing his voice, but still, you know how social media goes.
The rumors were further fueled by a viral video of a security guard at the show, who claimed that Morgan was so drunk that “he couldn’t walk” and had to be taken out of the stadium in an ambulance:
“The losing his voice is bull crap. Too drunk and the ambulance took him off. We got told by the head of security.”
