Darius Rucker’s Voice Gone
Just three days into their new tour, a country superstar was several songs into their concert in Atlantic City, New Jersey when they made a heartbreaking admission. Facing the crowd, they said, "I can't sing anymore," before promising, "I'll make it up to you." The emotional moment left fans stunned and concerned as the singer exited the stage.
Three songs in, Rucker told the audience, "Y’all I can’t sing anymore. I will play one more song. I promise you we’re going to figure this out."
He added, "This never happened. I physically can’t sing. I will make this up to you.”
Before ending the night, Rucker performed his hit song "Wagon Wheel." After the concert, American Songwriter shared a screenshot from Rucker’s Instagram, where he expressed his regret over not being able to reschedule the canceled show.

Completely not my genre and I only know him from that Adele duet he did 13 years ago, but you could hear the severe strain in his voice even back then. Terrible singing technique, I'm surprised his voice has lasted this long.

Let's wait to see whether the refunds he claimed would occur actually do occur.

Not singing it's the best gift he could have given any of them.

Is parade.com the go-to place for news? I’ve seen it linked several times lately on DL.

It is, r7, often found in the middle of your local newspaper's website next to the weekly supermarket ads.

That happens to me sometimes, when I've sucked too much cock earlier that day.

Why do they do the pronoun dance before switching to he/him? I had to read the whole excerpt at OP twice to understand what the hell the actual story is. I guess the joke’s on me for expecting hard hitting journalism from Parade.

He could have just made random noises for the rest of the concert and no one would have noticed there was a problem with his voice.
