"While I'm currently on a dream tour with Aldean (still can't believe I'm on this tour!), I recently had to cancel a few appearances after struggling with some vocal issues," Smith shares at the time. "After trying everything I could do and under the direction of my doctors, I'm now on strict vocal rest through the end of June."
The tour is of course Aldean's Full Throttle Tour, which unfortunately will continue on for a few more shows without Smith. The "Fix What You Didn't Break" singer announces he is now canceling more appearances, in hopes of fully healing his voice.
"As you know, I've been laying low over the past month on strict vocal rest," Smith writes. "I truly thought I could hit the ground running, but after the first show back in Rushville, IL (y'all were amazing by the way), the reality is, I'm not 100% yet and need more time to stay on the road to recovery. I am so sorry that I couldn't perform at Summerfest (it actually broke my heart), and sad to say that I will need to cancel my next four shows (Canada Fam I Love You and I'll be back soon)! To everyone, thank you so much for your support and patience and I promise we will get this thing dialed in ASAP!!!! Love, Nate."

Smith doesn't say exactly what has gone wrong. But he does say he is heartbroken to be away from his fans.
"We've all come to the decision that the best way to get my voice fully back is to rest it for the first time in almost five years," Smith says when announcing the news. "This is the part that is so hard for me, because I have multiple bucket list shows coming up this month (including CMA Fest), and it breaks my heart knowing I won't be there to see all of you!
"My commitment to everyone is to truly rest so I can get back out to do what I love more than anything," he adds. "My voice will absolutely recover, and I'll be dreaming of the road until then. Promise I'll make it up to you!"
Right now, Smith's calendar shows the four dates that are canceled, with the last one on July 13.
