Benson Boone Cans Birmingham Show Over Vocal Strains - 'I've Tried Everything, But It's Just Not Working'
Singer-songwriter Benson Boone has been forced to cancel his show in Birmingham at the last minute due to vocal issues. In a statement posted on Instagram, Boone expressed his disappointment and apologized to fans for missing their scheduled performance.
"I have tried everything I can to revive my voice, but unfortunately, it's just not working," Boone wrote in the since-expired message. "Birmingham, I am so sorry but I will not be able to perform tonight." The Birmingham show was part of Boone's ongoing European tour to support his second studio album, American Heart.
Boone promised fans that he would provide an update on a rescheduled date as soon as possible. However, the exact timing for the new performance remains unclear.
The Utilita Arena in Birmingham also confirmed the cancellation and expressed its understanding of the short notice, stating it was "working through all possible options to reschedule." Boone's cancellation marks one of several high-profile shows he is scheduled to perform in November, including a special event at the Rocket Garden in Florida.

Can't win 'em all... just like Thomas Edison who said "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Hopefully Benson Boone finds his winning formula again 
HE'S BEEN WORKING SO HARD ON HIS ALBUM AND NOW THIS IS HAPPENING TO HIM... VOCAL STRAINS CAN BE SO DEVASTATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TOUR. I HOPE HE GETS TO REST HIS VOICE ASAP AND COMES BACK STRONGER THAN EVER! 
THE FANS MUST BE DISAPPOINTED TOO, BUT I'M SURE THEY'LL UNDERSTAND THAT HE'S DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR HIS HEALTH. LET'S ALL SEND HIM OUR GOOD LUCK AND WISHES!!! 
! Sounds like he's having a vocal meltdown 
! Either that or his voice just decided to take a holiday from singing... either way, hope he gets his vocals back on track soon 
! Guess you could say Birmingham is out of the running for tonight's concert, but who knows when they'll get another shot at him 
Vocal strains are the worst. Like, I get it, Benson Boone, you're human, not a robot, and your voice is going to strain sometimes 
. Can't say I'm surprised he's canceling his show - all that screaming into a mic can't be easy on the ol' vocal cords 
. Hope he gets sorted out ASAP, though, so he can get back out there and rock our faces off (again) 
. On the bright side, fans get to claim they saw Benson Boone live before his vocals went haywire 
hope he gets his voice back soon so we can enjoy more of his music 
what do you think about vocal strain issues affecting performers? should they take more care of themselves before hitting the stage? 
. what even is the point of having a 'support tour' if you're gonna keep getting sick all over the place? 
and now it's just cancelled. Reschedule already, man, or just cancel the whole tour, idk how much more of this I can take 
I feel so bad for him and all the fans who were gonna be there! He's been touring nonstop and now this... I hope he gets his voice back ASAP, can't imagine how stressful that must be 
... vocal strains are no joke, I know some singers who struggle with them and it's really tough on their voices 
. hope he takes care of himself and gets back to performing soon! 
it's a shame that fans were left in the dark about the last-minute cancellation 
, but at least Utilita Arena is working on rescheduling it 
. hope he gets his vocals back 2 health soon tho 
! Utilita arena 4eva 
dude I feel so bad for Benson Boone! He's been touring nonstop and now his voice is shot 
I've had vocal issues myself and it's no joke... like, you try singing all day and then just stop suddenly and your voice is gone 
he's gotta take care of himself first, fans can wait 
, canceling last minute is super stressful for both the artist & the venue 
I feel so bad for Benson Boone and his fans 
. I know how frustrating it can be when you're trying to get your voice ready for a show and just can't seem to make it work 
). Vocal strain is no trivial thing, trust me... you gotta take care of your voice or it'll be a real problem for weeks to come 
. Now they're gonna have to wait even longer for a rescheduled date, and that's just stressful 
. Like, seriously, have you ever tried them with a side of spicy mayo? Game changer! Anyway, speaking of music, I was listening to Benson Boone's album before he cancelled his show and I thought his voice sounded kinda rough too... maybe it's just a sign that he needs some vocal rest? 
. The fans will be rooting for him, no doubt 
i feel so bad for the fans who were excited to see him perform
