Some fans that had summer plans to see Kenny Chesney at the Vegas Sphere were disappointed over the weekend, when the singer canceled two of his shows at the venue. He did offer an explanation, however. In a message to those who'd purchased tickets for his July 3 and 4 shows, Kenny wrote, "Funny thing about holidays, family, and traditions: you don’t realize how important they are until you remember all the things people in your life want to do to celebrate them; the reason people come together, go home and remember, catch up with old friends. Over the last few weeks, I’ve heard about a lot of traditions that wouldn’t be happening – because I was going to play Las Vegas over the 4th of July Weekend. I won’t say I didn’t realize, but I will say: hearing from people I know and care about, I heard them loud and clear. So I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel my shows on July 3 & 4 at Sphere. Not that I don’t want to see you at Sphere, to share this incredible, full-immersion music-visual experience with you. I do." The shows reportedly will not be rescheduled.
