Travis Tritt has shared an update after revealing last week that a pneumonia diagnosis would force him to cancel shows.

On September 24th, the 63-year-old country singer revealed that he had been ill for two weeks, but had recently discovered that what he was battling was pneumonia. He wrote:

“I’m sorry to report that I was diagnosed with pneumonia earlier this week. Turns out that the pneumonia was actually present for the past 2 weeks, but I didn’t know it, because I’ve never had it before.”

Travis Tritt has been maintaining a busy tour schedule since April, playing an average of 6-8 shows per month. In addition to his own headlining shows, he has been a supporting act for Zach Top, Jason Aldean, Koe Wetzel, and The Red Clay Strays.

As a result of the illness, he was forced to temporarily step away from performing and reschedule two shows. The shows affected were:

  • September 25th at Macon City Auditorium rescheduled to April 22nd, 2027
  • September 26th at North Charleston PAC rescheduled to November 14th, 2026

Additionally, his show planned for Saturday, October 3rd, at the Altria Theater in Richmond, Virginia, has been rescheduled to Thursday, November 12th.
