Due to health related circumstances, country music star Tyler Farr has canceled his appearance at the Dixie National Rodeo.
Following microlaryngeal surgery to remove a vocal polyp on his vocal chords,Farr has been placed on total vocal rest. The power vocalist first became aware of vocal issues while on tour with Jason Aldean this summer, and the problem was identified during a severe bout of bronchitis at the end of 2015.
“This is the last thing I would’ve ever expected,” says the operatically-trained Farr. “I sing hard, and I give it everything I have every night, but I really believed I was putting my training to work. After a #1 song, an awesome tour with Jason and getting engaged, this is not how I thought I was going to be winding up 2015.”
Farr was scheduled to perform on the final night of the Dixie National Rodeo Wednesday, Feb. 17.
But the show must go on, and filling in for Farr will be his good friend and fellow country music star Lee Brice.
