First and foremost, we hope Justin Moore is feeling better and back on the road soon after announcing earlier this week that he would be taking some time off the road to focus on his health.

As someone who makes their living and thrives off live shows, this had to be a terribly gut-wrenching decision for Justin to make. He loves his fans so much, but this was also the right decision to make to get back to feeling great!

Earlier today, Taste of Country revealed Justin's break from touring would encompass 7 cancelled dates, including his appearance with Riley Green at Albany Med Health System at SPAC. Thankfully, Justin has some Country friends ready to step up and help out during this stretch - including a Country icon.

When Riley Green's Cowboy As It Gets Tour rolls into Saratoga Springs next Friday, June 19th, Country legend Clint Black will step in to fill Justin's spot on that show at SPAC. Ever since his arrival with the legendary Country class of 1989, which also included Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, and Travis Tritt, Clint has carried the torch for traditional Country. He has become one of the genre's all-time greats over the past 37 years.

While we will miss seeing Justin at SPAC next week, it will be a cool plan B to have Clint filling in!

Tickets for this show are close to selling out and are still available for purchase through Ticketmaster.
