Following a six-week break from his "One Night At A Time" tour due to doctor-recommended vocal rest, country music star Morgan Wallen has made a triumphant return to the stage. His comeback performances began in Chicago with a two-night stint at Wrigley Field, playing to over 40,000 enthusiastic fans. Wallen expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome on Instagram, stating, "Chicago, I can still feel the energy today. Thank you for an incredible couple of nights in your city."
The 30-year-old singer had previously announced his hiatus in May after receiving concerning news from his doctors, warning him of potential permanent vocal damage if he continued performing. In a heartfelt video message to fans, Wallen explained the situation, emphasizing his commitment to following medical advice to fully recover. He reassured fans, stating, "They told me that if I do this the right way, I'll get back to 100%."
This wasn't Wallen's first encounter with vocal issues. He'd taken a shorter break in April after losing his voice and canceling a show, only to return prematurely and re-injure his vocal cords. Determined to make a full recovery this time, he quickly announced rescheduled tour dates shortly after the initial cancellation announcement.
Wallen's time off stage, however, wasn't without its difficulties. His two-year-old son, Indigo, whom he shares with ex-fiancée KT Smith, was recently bitten in the face by Smith's dog, requiring a trip to the emergency room and stitches. Smith shared the emotional ordeal on her Instagram Stories, explaining that the dog, a Great Pyrenees named Legend, had been re-homed following the incident.
Despite these challenges, Wallen's return to performing indicates his resilience and dedication to his music and fans.
