Country star Megan Moroney burst into tears in the middle of a concert as she announced she would have to end the show early for health reasons. The 28-year-old was only two songs into her scheduled performance at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado when she was forced to make her exit. Her voice hoarse, she informed the audience she was too ill to continue any longer, in fan footage that has circulated on TikTok. 

'This is obviously the last thing I want to do, but I am obviously extremely sick, and I thought I did everything to make myself better and then obviously two songs in, I just can't play this show tonight,' Moroney said. 'But I do - I will make it up to you guys. I absolutely promise I'll be back. You'll be able to come. But I wanna give you guys the show you deserve.' She dissolved into sobs as she told the crowd how 'sorry' she was, to which they responded by erupting into cheers of encouragement. 

The Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Moroney for comment. Moroney is currently on her Cloud 9 Tour in support of her album of the same name, with her next date set for this Saturday at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. Her bout of ill health comes days after country star Kacey Musgraves quietly canceled three upcoming shows - including the August concert in Chicago that was meant to open her Middle of Nowhere Tour - with no public explanation.

A number of country singers have stepped away from the stage this year, citing various personal concerns including physical and mental health. Earlier this month, Zach John King announced that his father had 'suddenly' died and that he was 'cancelling the next two weeks of shows to grieve with my family.' Taylor Holder announced on May 11 that he had decided to 'cancel my upcoming shows,' writing on Instagram: 'Over the past several months, I've been in a constant struggle with my mental health in ways that I can no longer ignore.' 

The same day, Meghan Patrick posted a video explaining that she was rescheduling several of her tour dates to accommodate her pregnancy. She said she was initially 'determined not to slow down' while expecting her baby by her husband Mitchell Tenpenny, because she 'thought I had to prove that pregnancy wouldn't change anything and that I could push through no matter what.' However her conversations with her doctors and loved ones caused her to reverse course as she 'realized my health and my baby girl's wellbeing have to come first.'
