Gabby Barrett Suddenly Cancels Three Upcoming Concerts Including Philadelphia Show

Oh no!  If you bought tickets for tonight's Kane Brown show with excitement to see opener Gabby Barrett, unfortunately you're going to have to wait for another time.  Gabby Barrett suddenly cancels three upcoming concerts including her Philadelphia show.

Gabby said on her Instagram story, “I’m sad to announce that I have to cancel this weekend of dates due to illness." “I hate this part of it, but at the same time it’s best to let my voice and body recover rather than pushing through this time,” Barrett continued. ”I always strive to give my fans the best show possible when I step on stage and am looking forward to being back soon. Love y’all.”

This obviously would have been a big show for Gabby as Pennsylvania is her home state.  She's from Pittsburgh even though she lives in Nashville now, she always says how much growing up and being from Pennsylvania means to her.

Kane’s Philly show is even more special than normal since it’s his wife’s Katelyn’s hometown show. Katelyn is from West Chester, and is currently performing on tour with Kane when they sing their #1 song “Thank God.” Katelyn moved to Nashville as an aspiring musician. She met Kane through mutual friends and the rest is history. When I interviewed Kane a few times he said his in-laws always text him when I talk about him on air.  He also revealed he sneaks back to the area alot and always works out at Planet Fitness and shops for sneakers at the King of Prussia mall.

Gabby was supposed to perform with Ashley McBryde at Wenonah Park in Bay City, MI on July 7 as well as two shows on Kane Brown’s Drunk or Dreaming Tour -  The Mann in Philly on July 8 and at Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua, NY on July 9.

Kane Brown's Drunk or Dreaming Tour has been lighting up cities all across the US over the last few months and he's finally making his way to Philly Saturday, July 8th at The Mann. His amazing 18 song summer tour setlist is out and we can't wait.

Here's what Kane had to say about finally performing with his singer wife. "My fans have been waiting five years for us to sing together … There [were] actually four [other songs] that we had," Kane told PEOPLE of the collaboration. "I was like, 'Babe, you're going to be on this one, or this one or this one.' And then 'Thank God' came in and I was like, 'This is the one.' And she said the same thing, but I'm so glad I waited for this particular one to come out."

He added, "I keep telling everybody she's my secret weapon, but this song is just, like, us. I feel like it's any relationship song or anybody that's married or going to get married just knows. It's like, 'God put you in my life for a reason.' "

After Kane's show at The Mann, we can get ready for Luke Combs to take over The Linc on July 28th and 29th. Luke hasn't been to Philly since 2019 so the fact we get Kane and Luke within a few weeks, yay!

I was fortunate to see Kane at the Wells Fargo Center and in Atlantic City over the last two years and he's always so good. If you haven't seen him perform live yet, add it to your list asap.

Lose It is Kane's first single from his second album Experiment. It came out in 2018 and Kane said, "I fell in love with this song, it was really exciting, it was really uptempo. It’s one of my favorite songs, so I hope you enjoy it."

This was Kane's first real "pop" hit. He said he wrote it when he was in a dark place during quarantine. He said, “I started realizing that I have a beautiful family and this artist opportunity and all this and that life is just ‘Grand.’”

Like I Love Country music was released May 2022 from his album "Different Man." He released this song as a single instead of a ballad because he thought it was too slow.

Kane sings "Famous Friends" with Chris Young. One of the coolest moments was when Kane showed up to surprised Chris during his set at Country Spirit USA Festival in Chester Springs two years ago. It was such a good festival, hopefully one day it comes back.

Kane performs with Blackbear. Kane said, "This song to me is going to go a bunch of different ways for people, it's kind of like a happy depression song..... It's just an uplifting song to find out you're not the only one."

Another one of Kane's pop hip hop songs he did with Swae Lee, and Khalid. It was released on July 10, 2020, and became a huge hit.

Kane dedicated this song to military families. He said, "I thought, 'There's not many songs going out these days about the military like there used to be.' I felt like this would really hit home for them. Just kind of like memories of, you know, anybody dancing in a kitchen, singing favorite songs with each other."

One of Kane's big hits. "Heaven" reached number one on the US Country Airplay chart dated May 19, 2018, becoming Kane's second number one song.

Kane's newest single that was just released a few months ago. Kane is from Georgia and it's an ode to the state where he was born and raised.

Kane performs this with Marshmello. Another pop song with an EDM powerhouse in Marshmello. Which fun fact, Marshello is from the Philly burbs.

This is my FAVORITE Kane song. It's so fun and upbeat and whenever I'm on the treadmill and I need a boost I put this one and this, let's go! It's such a jam. When Kane came to be my guest co-host I got to play it on the air and it was so fun.

The song is about a couple where the question "what if" is asked repeatedly about what would happen in their relationship. It features a duet with Lauren Alaina, who he knew from Georgia. Kane was asked so much about "What Ifs" on social media that it was then decided that the song should be included in the album

Kane performs this with his wife Katelyn.  She's also from West Chester, so we think there's a pretty good chance she will perform at The Mann since it's her hometown show!

In an interview with The Nashville Soundbite, Kane said the song covered a relationship about "where you makeup and you break up, and you just keep running into each other, and then something about that spark in the relationship gets y’all back together and may fall apart again."

This song came out in January 2019, which is so crazy that it was 4 1/2 years ago! It also reached #1 on the country airplay charts, making it one of Kane's biggest songs.
