Chris Stapleton, country artist had to unfortunately cancel an upcoming show at the BottleRock Festival in Napa, Valley due to illness. The illness is not COVID and despite short notice another band will be taking his place.

Stapleton post a tweet apologizing to fans and introducing The Highwomen:

We are also grateful to the amazing @TheHighwomen who, on a moment’s notice, have agreed to perform in our place. We are focused on getting well at home & hope to see you all soon.

The Highwomen return after they released their 2019 album. No one else could be a more fit replacement for Stapleton since their debut album got them to No.1 on the U.S. Country Chart. In addition, to being on the Billboard 200 and No.10 among all genres.

Stapleton is also not the only one being such as Amanda Shires being replaced by Brittney Spears.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL… we are playing a show tonight. 🎉

In a serendipitous series of events, we were asked to headline @BottleRockNapa this evening! We hope our dear friend @ChrisStapleton feels better soon! pic.twitter.com/D3xNfBj72D
