Rising Star Benson Boone Cancels Birmingham Gig Due to Illness

On November 3rd, 2025, 23-year-old singer-songwriter Benson Boone was forced to cancel his scheduled performance in Birmingham, UK, less than an hour before he was due to take the stage at the Utilita Arena. Boone, who is currently on his American Heart World Tour, had performed in Glasgow just two days prior on November 1st.

In a message posted to his Instagram account, Boone expressed his deep regret at having to cancel the Birmingham show, citing an illness affecting his throat and voice that left him unable to deliver the performance he had hoped to provide his fans. Despite trying everything he could to revive his voice, Boone ultimately determined that he could not give his Birmingham audience the show they deserved in his current condition.

Boone assured his fans that he is working with his team to find a date to reschedule the Birmingham show as soon as possible, promising to do everything in his power to make it up to them. The rising star, who first gained attention when he auditioned for American Idol in 2021, has been taking the music industry by storm in 2025 with hits like "Beautiful Things."
