Miranda Lambert Cancels Calgary Stampede Concert Due To Vocal Cord Issues


Miranda Lambert cancelled her Calgary Stampede concert due to recent vocal cord issues.

The “Little Red Wagon” singer was scheduled to perform at the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on Thursday, July 9. However, she had to cancel her appearance due to “serious inflammation of her vocal cords,” according to the event’s Facebook Page.

Below is their entire statement regarding Miranda Lambert’s cancellation.

“Regretfully, Miranda Lambert will not be able to perform her Scotiabank Saddledome concert scheduled for Thursday July 9, 2015 and will be rescheduling to return at a later date yet to be determined.

Miranda Lambert is unable to perform due to serious inflammation of her vocal chords according to her physician. ‘I’m so sorry that I can’t be at Stampede this week, but I’ll be back in Calgary just as soon as I can for all of my Stampede fans,’ said Lambert.

‘We understand that this news is disappointing for fans,’ said Paul Rosenberg, Chief Operating Officer, Calgary Stampede. ‘We will know more about rescheduling the concert later; in the meantime, we hope that fans use their tickets for admission to Stampede and enjoy all that we have to offer — including live country music at Nashville North.’

Ticket holders should hold on to their tickets, as each concert ticket will be valid for free single admission to Stampede Park between July 8 and July 12.

Ticket holders should retain their ticket for the rescheduled concert, and should continue to check the Stampede’s and Ticketmaster’s websites for rescheduling updates.”

Miranda also issued a statement on her website, apologizing to her fans and reassuring them that she is doing everything she can to get better as soon as possible.

“I can’t believe this is happening. I am sure most of you heard the news about the show in Calgary having to be rescheduled due to my vocal issues. Thanks for all your posts and well wishes, I promise I will do everything to get better quickly! -Miranda”

According to her website, Miranda’s last show was on July 3, and her next show is scheduled for July 17. Her husband, fellow country music superstar Blake Shelton, is set to perform at the Calgary Stampede on Friday, July 10.
