Morgan Wallen Cancels Pittsburgh Show Over Strong Winds, Defending Decision 2 Days After Onstage Flare-Up

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 14

Summary

  • Pittsburgh’s Saturday stadium show was called off after Wallen said his team, consulting local officials, warned strong winds could make his large stage dangerous or even fatal.
  • In an Instagram video, Wallen pushed back on online claims that he left town before authorities confirmed the cancellation, saying he acted on the information available and trusted his team.
  • The cancellation came two days after Wallen grabbed a security guard’s phone and threw it across the stage, and days after he flipped a piano mid-show when equipment malfunctioned.
  • The latest disruption extends a pattern of controversies that has included a 2024 chair-throwing arrest, a 2023 last-minute show cancellation and earlier public incidents, even as his commercial success has held up.
