Chesnutt will be replaced by country singer Mark Wills, known for such hits as «19 Something, » «Jacob’s Ladder» and «Back at One.»
«It’s going to get pretty bad down here in South East Texas, » Chesnutt wrote on his Facebook page. «I’ m really sorry I can’ t make it, I was really looking forward to coming up there. You can bet I will be there next time.»
The country singer grew up in Texas and never left.
«A lot of my fans are from Texas, and they love the traditional sound; that’s why they’ re listening to my band, ” he told the News-Gazette earlier this week. «We’ re one of the few to have a steel guitar and fiddler with me.»
