Chris Stapleton show in London, Ont. postponed due to COVID-19

London-area Chris Stapleton fans will have to wait a bit longer to see the country music star perform in the Forest City as part of his All-American Road Show tour.

In a social media post Thursday, Stapleton announced that the show, scheduled for Thursday night at Budweiser Gardens, would be postponed as a result of a positive COVID-19 case within the band, in addition to subsequent exposures.

“We want you all to know this was not a decision we made lightly and we sincerely apologize to every ticket holder,” read the post, co-signed by Stapleton and wife Morgane. Stapleton was set to perform with special guest Elle King.
