"I just want to thank y'all so much for all the love, the support and the prayers I've gotten over the last few weeks since my bus crash," he said in a video shared to Instagram. "It's every artist's nightmare, and it's been 20 years, and it finally happened. Unfortunately, I was hurt a little bit more than we realized, and I'm having to cancel the rest of the year, have some surgery and get back out there next year. But y'all, I an't gonna let the Devil win, but in the meantime I'd already been working on some new music. I got about a handful of them. I'm going to give it to ya.

"Colt recently underwent shoulder surgery, and while he was hoping to be back on stage soon, his doctors have determined his injuries are more extensive than expected," the statement read. "On their strong advice, Colt has made the difficult decision to cancel this upcoming show to focus fully on his recovery.
"We know many fairgoers were looking forward to his performance, and we wish Colt a healthy recovery," the statement continued. "Our team is actively working to secure a replacement artist and will share additional details as soon as they are available."
