Jason Aldean Forced To Cancel Performance

Country music fans saw an incredible performance in Kansas on Saturday (June 22) and it wasn’t Jason Aldean.

Severe weather pummeled fans waiting to see Jason Aldean perform at Country Stampede in Topeka, Kansas. At one point, lightning strikes right behind the stage – sending attendees fleeing for cover.

When it was clear that Mother Nature wasn’t going to let up, organizers canceled Aldean’s performance.

Jason Aldean apologized for the canceled performance in a video posted to Instagram.

Yikes! I don’t think Jason Aldean is in Kansas anymore Toto!
