Major US music star cancels European tour as they tell fans 'it wasn't an easy decision'
Popular American country singer Hardy has cancelled his European tour just days before he was set to take to the stage overseas. The Philadelphia-born performer, 34, had been scheduled to begin the series of shows on Thursday in Copenhagen, Denmark, in what would have been his first headline show in Europe. But the Wait In The Truck singer left fans gutted on Tuesday as he took to Instagram to announce the cancellation of the latest leg of his Jim Bob Tour. Hardy posted: 'I have decided to cancel the European leg of the JIM BOB TOUR. 'It wasn't an easy decision but one I had to make for my band, crew and my family. Please know that I love you all and I will be back as soon as I can. 'Refunds will automatically be issued by your point of purchase.' Hardy had been scheduled to perform in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK and Ireland before pulling out. The country singer previously cancelled a series of shows in 2023 as he recovered from a car crash which left him with serious injuries. Hardy and three others had been returning from a show in Bristol, Tennessee, a year earlier when their tour bus overturned. The 34-year-old cited 'serious anxiety' as the reason for the cancelled shows in October 2023. 'I need to be honest with everyone for a second,' Hardy posted on his social media. 'I've been dealing with some serious anxiety since the bus accident last year and over the last two weeks, it has taken control of my life. 'It's caused me to suffer many panic attacks which have landed me in hospital. It wasn't an easy decision but one I had to make for my band, crew and my family. Please know that I love you all and I will be back as soon as I can,' the artist announced 'I need a moment to focus on me and make myself better for my wife, family and you. the fans.' Hardy - real name Michael Wilson Hardy - became a father earlier this year as he and his wife Rosie Ryan Hardy welcomed their daughter in March. They had announced the news that they were expecting a child months earlier, with Hardy posting: ''You have been our favorite little secret to keep. Baby Hardy coming February 2025.' 'Thank you all so much for all of the sweet words and love you've shared with us about our little one!!' Ryan said. 'I am so relieved and excited to finally have the news out there!! We are going to be parents! This is so fun!' Hardy and Caleigh's romance began in 2018 when he slid into her DMs on Instagram after she popped up on his For You page. 'We just started talking about San Diego and how she goes to Ole Miss and my family's Mississippi State thing," Hardy told People. 'We kept in contact until I had a show nearby her school and told her I'd love to meet her there.' When the day of his show arrived, Ryan said she 'dragged' her roommates with her to meet Hardy. 'Once we met each other, there really was no one else,' Ryan said. 'We never entertained anyone else. It was just so easy.' After three years of dating, the singer popped the big question in 2021 at the Lyric Oxford Theater in Mississippi, where they had first met in person. And in October 2022, the lovebirds said 'I do' during a romantic ceremony in Nashville, where the happy couple currently reside.
