In June, Zimmerman was wanted following allegations that he caused more than $16,000 in damage to a hotel room at said resort. The charges were dropped later that month after he paid in full restitution for the damages.With that all said and done, Zimmerman made a shocking announcement regarding his “Different Night Same Rodeo Tour” this week. On Thursday, he said he was canceling the European leg.“I wanted to let you all know personally that I unfortunately have to cancel my UK/Europe shows,” he wrote in an Instagram post. This was not an easy decision and it kills me to have to cancel because I know how excited everyone is... but right now I need to take this time to focus on important family matters. Everything is okay, it’s just my family needs my attention and that’s what I’ve gotta do.“Zimmerman noted that his North American concerts slated for August are still on, “but after that I will be taking some more time to focus on me, my family, and new music.”“Once again I’m so sorry to everybody that has waited so long... I hope y’all can understand that my family has to come first. Thank you for having my back on this crazy ride we call life,” he wrote as he ended his post.Users in the comment section had mixed remarks. Some were supportive. “We understand family comes first!!! We love you and take all the time you need,” wrote one. Another said: “Devastated, but sending all the love and well wishes to you and your family.”Others weren’t as sympathetic. “i know that family comes first but does this guy ever not cancel his shows fr?”Another wrote: “It’s sad and kinda disappointing to read that the UK and Europe are going to be cancelled but North America is still part of your tour plan. Although I wish your family all the best and hope to see you one day on stage soon.”Zimmerman was scheduled to play in Europe from Aug. 27 to Sept. 12. He has not indicated that he will be rescheduling the shows.Kelly Corbett is a Trending News Reporter for syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.
