Joshua Ray Walker undergoes cancer treatment and Brett Young runs into problems at his concert | Music City Minute

Oct 30, 2024, 4:27 PM

Indy country artist Joshua Ray Walker is being treated for colon cancer. About a month ago, he underwent his second surgery which he said kicked his butt. However, Walker posted a positive update saying, “As far as my doctors can tell, there is no discernible amount of cancer anywhere in my body at the moment.” Even though remission is five years away, Walker is feeling really good. So good, he’s planning a few shows for 2025.
Brett Young concerts are usually pretty laid back. Unfortunately, his recent crowd in Detroit didn’t get the chill memo. Several fights broke out during Young’s show, which proved too distracting for the “Mercy” singer. After stepping of stage to cool down, Young returned and told the crowd, “I give you full permission, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, to not get into any more fights tonight.”
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
