Cody Johnson Forced To Cancel Remainder Of 2025 Tour

On October 7th, Texas-born country artist Cody Johnson shared the unfortunate news that he would not be able to perform for the remainder of the year due to a ruptured eardrum. He was forced to cancel six shows that were scheduled between October and December.

Johnson revealed that the severity of the rupture required him to undergo immediate surgery. He wrote online:

“The healing process will take many weeks, and it is not possible for me to sing during this time. Without the surgery my downtime could be months. I pray for full healing so I can get well and return to doing what I love.
