Noah Kahan is willing and able to apologize to his fans.
After the “Willing and Able” singer’s July 18 show at Citi Field in New York City was canceled at the last minute due to severe weather, he shared his regrets to his disappointed fans.
“I just want to apologize for the cancellation of our show last night,” Kahan said during his July 19 show at the venue in video captured by E! News. “I know you guys were all here. I don’t expect any sympathy at all.”
The 29-year-old added, “I am so f--king sorry for the folks that stood all day out in the rain and traveled. I’ve been thinking about you guys.”
The Grammy nominee also emphasized that he and his team tried their hardest to avoid the cancellation.
“I promise you we did everything we could, weird s--t to try to reschedule it,” he continued, “and I’m sorry, I just feel horrible. I’m really sorry. You deserve better than that.”
Plus, Kahan noted that in the nine years that he has been a touring musician, he’s made it a point to reschedule shows if possible, instead of cancelling the event entirely.
“I’ve probably played about 500 shows, and I’ve canceled six in my life, and they’ve only ever been when we cannot do anything else but cancel the show,” he explained. “I promise you I would play in a f--king volcano—in the hole of a volcano—for you all.”
Ahead of the canceled concert, Citi Field—the outdoor stadium the New York Mets play in—gave fans updates on how the New York City area’s inclement weather—which included thunderstorms, record rainfalls, flooding and tornado warnings—was affecting the Kahan’s July 18 concert.
Ultimately, after pushing back the show’s start time and adjusting the event’s lineup, they delivered the bad news to fans.
“This was a very difficult decision to make, but the first priority is always to keep everyone safe,” the Queens venue’s organization shared in a statement to X. “Thank you for understanding.”
