Billy Strings Breaks Leg, Reschedules Tour

0:00It's April 21st. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, where the headlines shine. Powered by AI. Bluegrass star Billy Strings just had to push back four tour dates after a skateboarding wipeout that broke his leg. It happened right after a high-energy show in Charlottesville, Virginia when he tried to back 180 trick he's nailed a million times before. The April 22nd gig in Charleston, West Virginia and three shows from April 24th to 26th in Fisher's Indiana are now set. For August 4th and August 6th through 8th, he spilled the details on Instagram saying he heard the snap over the crowd's roar like a 2x4 cracking. Backstays turned into a wild ride with extreme pain, ketamine trips, and surgery at UVA Health in Charlottesville with a doc screwed him back. Together, Strings called his care team Absolute Angels and admitted he planned to tough it out on tour, but after chats with doctors, his band friends and wife, he knew healing was a smart move.

1:00He's beating himself up, feeling like an idiot on painkillers for the dumb mistake. Fans won't lose out tickets, work for the new summer dates, and he's promising to make it up to everyone. This Grammy King, with wins for albums like Home, Highway Prayers, and Live Volume 1, rose fast from his debut, Term Oil and Tinfoil back in 2, 2017. He'll hit the stage next at a sold-out show in Ronov, Virginia on July 14th, so the bluegrass fire keeps burning strong.
