“I’m going to call the show. I’ll give each and every single one of y’all your money back,” the singer said from the stage.

“It is from the deepest part of my heart that I apologize for having to do this,” he continued. “I’ve never done this in all the years that I’ve been singing country music. I hope you guys will forgive us.”

In addition to promising to refund fans’ money, McCollum also vowed to put a new date on his calendar for his State College fans. He reiterated that sentiment in an apology posted to social media after he got off the stage.

“I was getting pretty sick before the show and tried to make it through,” McCollum explained. “Sadly, I couldn’t make it happen. Definitely not how we wanted the show to go, but we are going to make it up to you very soon.”

“He said he was throwing up 15 mins before the show but wanted to give us what we could, wrote TikTok user @alliecheeto, who posted video from the concert. “…He made it about halfway through the set list and honestly sounded so good until the last two songs he sang. It’s ok Parker, we still love you!”

“Very respectable young man. You gotta understand things like this,” one TikTok user added in the comments section.
