Kacey Musgraves Broke Her Rib, Reschedules Upcoming Show

Kacey Musgraves is recuperating after sustaining an injury from a fall while in Mexico.

In a post to Instagram Stories on Friday (June 20), Musgraves shared an image of an x-ray shot of her ribs. She wrote over the image, “Sooo I’m in Mexico with a f—in’ broken rib. Wednesday night it was raining and I was running to grab some towels and had an extremely hard fall on some very slick tile I didn’t see. Thankful I didn’t smack my head but I landed very very hard on my back left ribcage and I broke rib number 6.”

She added, “This s— is no joke. I’m in a lot of pain and doing anything is extremely difficult but I’m managing and being well taken care of.”

Musgraves noted that due to the injury, she would be rescheduling her performance at a Sing For Science event, which had been set for Sunday (June 22) at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. “There is no physical way I can get on a plane and fly back to Nashville … I am extremely bummed to have to reschedule as I have been looking forward to this for months but there is literally no other option,” she wrote. “I’m so sorry for the inconvenience.”

The event is now set to take place on Sept. 18 at the Ryman. In addition to Musgraves’ performance, the event will also feature fungi expert Paul Stamets. The tickets purchased for the original June 22 show are valid for the new Sept. 18 date. The event, sponsored in part by The Simons Foundation, is a live taping of the Sing For Science podcast.

Musgraves’ other upcoming shows, according to her website, include a July 5 appearance at the Zootown Festival in Montana and an Aug. 2 appearance at Hinterland Music Festival in Iowa.
