Sometimes, decisions have to be made that are outside of your control. Unfortunately for Zach Bryan, he found that out the hard way on Friday, April 3, when he was forced to cancel his show in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Dangerous weather conditions led to the cancellation.
Bryan took to Instagram to inform his Oklahoma-based fans that his show had been canceled.
"To my fellow Oklahomans: I am being forced by my team to cancel the show tonight, due to the threat of extreme weather," Zach's Instagram post read. "I've never canceled a show in my life, but I unfortunately don't have a choice in the matter."
The country music star then advised those affected by his team's decision that refunds would be processed automatically.
"Refunds wil be issued automatically, to the original method of payment used at the time of purchase," his post continued. "Please note that it may take up to 10-15 business days for the refund."
The caption of Zach's post provided even further proof of his frustration regarding the situation.
"5 years of touring I've never cancelled a headlining show," he wrote. "I p-----d off plenty people this morning trying to 'play anyways'. If I had ANY say in this, things would be different."
Zach is currently on his "With Heaven On Tour." As such, he will undoubtedly be frustrated at dropping a show and disappointing his fans in the process.
Zach Bryan Shared the Text Message That Led to His Show's Cancellation
Zach's Instagram post didn't stop at just informing fans, as he also posted a screenshot of the text message that forced him to abandon the show.
"I know you're gonna hate me for this, but we have no choice but to cancel the show," the text message began. "I just had a meeting with the police, school, and meteorologists, and the consensus is that we would be putting people's safety at risk."
The rest of the text message details the information Zach's team had been given by the meteorologists. It indicated the risk of performing on Friday.
Unfortunately for those in Oklahoma, Zach's tour must continue. As such, there doesn't appear to be any plans to rebook a different date. Hopefully, the next time he's in town, the weather allows him to make up for what was clearly a difficult decision.
