Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Chris Stapleton has been touring hard in the last few months, but he has come down with bronchitis and laryngitis and has had to postpone three shows in Texas and Louisianna. Chris posted the news on his Instagram.

He wrote, “To all my friends in Corpus Christi, Houston, and Lafayette, I am very sorry to let you know that I am unable to perform this weekend’s shows. I have bronchitis and laryngitis and, on doctor’s orders, been on vocal rest through the weekend in order to heal.”

Stapleton added, “I am grateful for your patience and understanding, and hope to see you all in November.”

Chris captioned the post, “All tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates.

Nov 16 – Lafayette, LA
Nov 17 – Houston, TX
Nov 18 – Corpus Christi, TX

For those who cannot attend, please contact your point of purchase within the next seven days.”

Many fans reacted to the post with one saying, “Rest, recover and feel better!! You’re worth the wait! We’ll see you in November.” Another fan wrote, “Get well soon, Chris!” One more fan commented, “Get well soon and take care, Chris!! That’s the most important thing, buddy. Love.”

Stapleton recently teamed with Filson, which produces luggage, bags, and accessories, and announced the “Traveller Collection,” a five-piece ensemble designed and handcrafted, available on October 5, 2023.

Chris’s connection to Filson can be traced back to his formative years with his father, who wore Filson gear while hunting. Ever since, Stapleton has donned Filson gear on the road and daily life.

Chris said in a statement, “It’s been an incredible process developing the ‘Traveller Collection’ with Filson. Inspired by my needs on the road and the desire to revive archived Filson pieces, we’ve created products that I genuinely use and love. Filson feels like part of my family, and their commitment to lasting craftsmanship aligns perfectly with my values.”

He added, “It’s been an honor to collaborate with such a legendary brand that creates products meant to outlive us all.”
