Chris Stapleton undergoing physical therapy after severe hand injury

Country singer Chris Stapleton has revealed he postponed his tour because of an injury which left him with a broken bone and detached tendon in his right hand. The 39-year-old music star postponed eight concerts and canceled an appearance at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, Tennessee, as part of his All-American Road Show tour earlier this week, but gave no reason for the decision at the time. However, in a letter written to his fans and posted on his website on Thursday, Chris explained that a severe injury has affected his ability to play guitar. “After seeing a specialist, I have some information to share,” he wrote. “I’m on the road to recovery from a broken bone & a detached tendon in my right index finger.” “Tennessee Whiskey” singer Chris will now be undergoing physical therapy in a bid to help his hand heal following the injury. “The doctor is hopeful that with some physical therapy I will be playing guitar again soon,” he continued. “Right now, I can’t possibly give you guys the show you deserve. I always want to give you my very best. “There is little in this world that I enjoy more than getting to make music with all of you night after night. Thank you for the privilege. Your support and understanding through all of this lets me know now, more than ever, I have the best fans in the world.” The hand injury comes after Chris was forced to postpone a concert in California last year due to vocal issues. https://www.instagram.com/p/BU0dqbOhBUt/?taken-by=chrisstapleton eawn mcgregor
