“Sadly I slipped on the steps of the bus whilst traveling to Denmark and seriously injured a rib, making it difficult to breathe and impossible to sing. Regretfully, I will not be able to perform the last 3 shows of our tour, but have every intention of making up these shows in September / October when we return. I am so sorry for any inconvenience that I have caused to the fans who have bought tickets. I will do everything I can to make it up to you,” Sutherland wrote.
Many fans commented on the post to wish Sutherland well:
“Be well, you are a class act!,” @gailbrander wrote.
“Wishing you a speedy recovery! And hope to see you in October!,” @nikki_upson added.
Of course, many took the opportunity to make 24 jokes:
“Jack Bauer needs no ribs: he’s bulletproof,” @serginho316 quipped.
According to Yahoo Entertainment, Sutherland’s current tour began back in January in Colorado and eventually brought him in Europe. The site reports that his new album is a mixture of folk, rock, blues, and country. You can learn more about his live shows here.
