Charlie Puth Cancels Orlando Concert Due to Illness: ‘So Devastated’

Charlie Puth has canceled Saturday’s (June 6) show in Orlando, Florida, citing an illness that’s lasted a few days and a recommendation to rest in order to recover for the remainder of his Whatever’s Clever! World Tour.

“I am so devastated to do this, but I have to cancel tonight’s show,” he wrote in an Instagram Story note Saturday afternoon. “I’ve been sick for the last few days and am now being instructed to rest or else risk canceling more dates on this tour.”

Puth’s statement continued, “Performing for you all each night means everything to me, and you all deserve the best. I’m heartbroken, but I physically am unable to perform. Without a voice, I can’t give you guys the show you all deserve.”

“I’m so sorry, this was not an easy decision to make but I hope to see you all soon when I am well again,” he wrote.

Orlando’s Addition Financial Arena shared Puth’s statement on social media and provided additional details for ticket holders: “Sorry for the delay as we here at the Arena were awaiting final decision. Charlie Puth’s Whatever’s Clever tour scheduled for tonight is canceled with no rescheduled date. Please refer to your original point of purchase for refunds.”

Puth’s schedule currently has him set to play Nashville on June 9 before heading over to Texas. The European leg of his tour is next up, once his U.S. dates wrap.

He recently graced the stage of Madison Square Garden in New York City, bringing several special guests up to the stage with him: Art Garfunkel, Jimmy Fallon, Busta Rhymes and Kirk Franklin.
