In a surprising turn of events, country music sensation Cody Johnson has regrettably canceled the rest of his 2025 tour dates due to a burst eardrum. The unfortunate news came as Johnson took to social media, explaining the necessity for immediate surgery following the injury. Known for his energetic performances and heartfelt lyrics, Johnson’s announcement has left fans both concerned and supportive.
“It is with a heavy heart I have to share the remainder of this year’s concert performances will not be able to happen,” Johnson expressed in his post. He further detailed, “While battling a severe upper respiratory and sinus infection, I burst my ear drum. The severity of the rupture means I must undergo immediate surgery.”
Doctors have indicated that the healing process will take several weeks, during which Johnson will be unable to perform or even sing. This has understandably put a pause on his hectic schedule, pushing his next live performance to February 14th in Louisville. Fans with tickets to the canceled shows are advised to await further instructions from their ticket providers.
Prior to this unexpected announcement, the country artist had been building anticipation among his fan base, known as COJO Nation, with promises of new music. However, these plans have been temporarily shelved as Johnson prioritizes his recovery.
Despite the setback, Cody Johnson remains optimistic about his return to the stage. He concluded his heartfelt message by saying, “I pray for full healing so I can get well and return to doing what I love. Thank you COJO Nation for the love and support, now, and always.”
While his next confirmed appearance is a few months away, Johnson is set to make a major comeback with a headlining slot at Stagecoach in April. Until then, fans continue to rally behind him, sending well-wishes for a speedy recovery and looking forward to the day when he can once again grace the stage with his signature country flair.
