Megan Moroney cancels show mid-performance, leaves stage in tears

Country star Megan Moroney cut her Denver concert short Tuesday night after becoming too sick to continue performing, later telling fans it was "the hardest decision" she has ever had to make.

The singer took the stage at Ball Arena but struggled through just three songs before stopping the show. Moroney returned to address the audience herself, apologizing as she fought back tears. "I am obviously extremely sick, and I thought I did everything to make myself better, and obviously, two songs in, I just can't play this show tonight," she told the crowd in a fan-recorded video. Despite ending the performance early, Moroney assured concertgoers she planned to make up for the disappointing night. "I want to give you guys the show you deserve. ... I'm sorry," she said. Fans inside the arena responded with encouragement, with one audience member shouting, "That's OK Meg, I love you," as the visibly emotional singer exited the stage. Ball Arena later confirmed the concert had been canceled because Moroney was feeling under the weather. "Megan is unable to continue her performance this evening due to illness, and we must end the show at this time," the venue said in a statement.
