The &#8220;Brother Jukebox&#8221; singer has recently been touring the country and was scheduled to tour throughout the summer.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2023, Chesnutt confirmed to his fans in an Instagram post that he had been dealing with &#8220;extreme health issues,&#8221; and that he was going to take time to focus on his health. &#8220;To my family, friends, fans and the country music community\u2026 Many of you who know me well, know that I have been struggling with a battle that I\u2019ve fought to overcome for many years on my own. Now after some extreme health issues I\u2019ve recently experienced the time has come. The fight is over,&#8221; he said at the time. &#8220;I\u2019ve made the decision, to take the time to get healthy. I\u2019ll be coming off the road for the next couple of months to concentrate on getting well\u2026.. to take care of me, my family and so that I can get back out on the road, to give back to ALL of you who have shown me unconditional support, care and love throughout my entire career,&#8221; Chesnutt continued. &#8220;I truly appreciate your heartfelt understanding in my commitment, and your sensitivity to my decision, and the privacy to allow me this time. I\u2019ll see you when I return to the road in February. Be good to one another. Stay well.
