We Now Know the ‘Exciting’ Reason Parker McCollum Canceled a Show
Parker McCollum's previously canceled Texas tour stop has turned into a massive one-night-only show with George Strait.
After months of speculation, the Gold Chain Cowboy has revealed that he and the King will be doing a live show in the home of the Texas A&M University football team in June.
"When the King calls, there’s nothing you can do but pick up," he shared on social media along with a poster for the show.
The image shows a sepia-filtered image of Strait popping out of an outline of the state of Texas, set against a red background.
"George Strait: The King at Kyle Field" will take place on Saturday, June 15, at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. McCollum and Catie Offerman will open the in-the-round style show. The poster also notes this is Strait's only stop in Texas this year.
What Show Did Parker McCollum Cancel?
On Jan. 5, McCollum informed fans that he would be canceling his show in College Station scheduled for Aug. 30. He refunded all of the tickets, but did not reveal the reason why. He only mentioned "unforeseen circumstances."
"That being said, we have some exciting news that we'll be announcing in the near future so be on the lookout," he teased in the caption.
Fast forward to this week, and McCollum shared a cryptic video of himself singing Strait's "Troubadour." He addressed College Station directly in the caption, saying, "I told y'all it would all make sense."
