\n\tAccording to a June 18 post on Chesnutt\u2019s Instagram page, he experienced a heart health issue and was hospitalized on Sunday. He underwent emergency quadruple bypass surgery and is currently recovering. The surgery and recovery has also led Chesnutt to cancel some upcoming shows.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt is with a heavy heart that I announce the cancellation of my upcoming shows,\u201d Chesnutt said in his statement on social media. \u201cI send my love and gratitude to my family and friends, the band and fans for your understanding, prayers and support, and look forward to seeing you all again soon at a honky tonk near you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA rep for Chesnutt did not immediately respond to Billboard<\/em>\u2018s request for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tChesnutt had been set to perform shows in Louisiana and Texas on June 21 and June 22, as well as take part in Dauphin\u2019s Country Fest in Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada, on June 30. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDauphin\u2019s Countryfest is extremely saddened to hear the news that we won\u2019t have Mark Chesnutt grace our stage this summer,\u201d the festival said in a statement<\/a> on social media. \u201cWe continue to send healing vibes to Mark and his family during his recovery. Our team is working diligently to secure another act to add to our wonderful Sunday lineup and will make an announcement as soon as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tChesnutt\u2019s official website currently lists <\/a>upcoming shows starting in September.<\/p>\n

\n\tChesnutt has earned eight No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay hits, including the multi-week chart-toppers \u201cIt\u2019s a Little Too Late,\u201d \u201cBrother Jukebox\u201d and \u201cI Don\u2019t Wanna Miss a Thing.\u201d The Beaumont, Texas, native has also forged his enduring career thanks to songs including \u201cBlame It On Texas,\u201d \u201cOld Flames Have New Names,\u201d and \u201cIt Sure Is Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n
