Parker McCollum To ‘Make It Up’ To Fans After Canceling Mid-Show

Country singer-songwriter Parker McCollum performed at the Bryce Jordan Center as part of his “What Kinda Man” tour on Saturday night. However, after playing a few songs, McCollum canceled the rest of the concert due to illness.

Throughout his short performance, the breaks between each song lengthened and the stage lights turned off as McCollum was hunched over, throwing up into a small bin on stage. Eventually, McCollum stopped the show before apologizing to the crowd and offering them full refunds.

Shortly after attendees left the BJC, McCollum posted an Instagram story apologizing for the cancellation and explaining how he felt sick before the concert but tried to make it through.

According to his post, McCollum plans to make it up to his fans “very soon” and will announce the details in the near future.

At this time, it is unclear whether McCollum will return to State College for another concert and if openers Kameron Marlowe and Laci Kaye Booth will join him.
