I\u2019m actively seeking professional help and focusing on my faith, my health\/mental health, and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n The singer acknowledged how difficult it is to cancel shows after spending the last decade on the road, but said the moment calls for honesty and change.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so hard for me to cancel shows because touring has been my life for the last decade,\u201d King wrote. \u201cBut for the sake of my faith, my family, and my fans, I have to be authentic<\/a> in this change in my life, and walk by Faith.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that he plans to use this time to focus on getting better and returning stronger.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Survey Says Country Music Fans Have the Best Mental Health<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cLet me take this time, commit to getting well, and through this<\/a>, return stronger, focused, and more grateful than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n King also thanked fans for their continued support, adding, \u201cI\u2019ve always looked at music as a way to heal, but this is bigger than music. I appreciate any prayers you have. Through God\u2019s grace and mercy, I will rise from this and see y\u2019all soon.\u201d<\/p>\n King has canceled several upcoming appearances, including shows at the Six Shooter Music Festival in Kenedy, Texas, the Austin Rodeo, and the Party in the Desert Festival in Wickenburg, Arizona.<\/p>\n He has also postponed dates<\/a> in El Paso, Texas, Tucson, Arizona, and a run of California shows, including stops in Anaheim, San Luis Obispo, and Sacramento.<\/p>\n As of now, his next scheduled performances are set for April 10 at the Waller County Fairgrounds in Hempstead, Texas, and April 11 at Billy Bob\u2019s Texas in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n The announcement comes shortly after King released<\/a> his latest single, \u201cThinkin\u2019 \u2018Bout Drinkin\u2019,\u201d on Feb. 20.<\/p>\n For now, though, the focus is clear \u2014 stepping away, getting right, and putting life ahead of the spotlight.<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: Evan Paul<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nStepping Back to Focus on Health<\/h3>\n
