Jon Pardi tried to sing through it.
He got through his Wilmington, North Carolina, show on Thursday, Oct. 1, “squeaking by,” he said in a video to fans. Then he postponed the next two nights, Macon on Oct. 2 and Biloxi on Oct. 3.
On Wednesday, Oct. 7, the “Head Over Boots” singer pushed back three more. “I hate to do this, but unfortunately I’m still sick with a deep chest infection and we have to postpone our shows this weekend,” he wrote on Instagram.

The first two didn’t get pushed nearly as far. His tour page now lists the Biloxi, Mississippi, show for Oct. 29 and the Macon, Georgia, show for Oct. 30.
What’s Next
All of it is part of the Gamblin’ Man Tour, with Alexandra Kay and Sadie Bass opening.
His next date on the books is the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville on Tuesday, Oct. 13.
At this time, there has been no indication on whether he’ll be well enough for that one.
