Country music star suffers fall, in ‘a lot of pain,’ postpones shows
Kacey Musgraves postponed her weekend shows after suffering a broken rib.
The country music star slipped on wet tile while in Mexico.
The country-pop star, 36, took to social media to update fans.
“Rescheduling, not canceling,” she said.
According to Musgraves, the injury occurred during a rainy evening when she slipped while rushing to grab towels.
“Sooo I’m in Mexico with a (expletive) broken rib,” she posted. “Wednesday night it was raining and I was running to grab some towels and had an extremely hard fall on some very slick tile I didn’t see. Thankful I didn’t smack my head but I landed very very hard on my back left ribcage, and I broke number 6. This (expletive) is no joke. I’m in a lot of pain and doing ANYTHING is extremely difficult but I’m managing and being well taken care of.
“There is no physical way I can get on a plane and fly back to Nashville (for the show) on Sunday. I am extremely bummed to have to reschedule as I have been looking forward to this for months but there is literally no other option. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience.”
