In case you missed it...
Rising country stars don't take days off if they can help it. Every day they grind, they're closer to their career goals, so you know Nate Smith is crushed that he's been forced to step away from performing for awhile. On his Instagram, the singer explained, "While I'm currently on a dream tour with [Jason] Aldean...I recently had to cancel a few appearances after struggling with some vocal issues. After trying everything I could do and under the strict direction of my doctors, I'm now on strict vocal rest through the end of June." He goes on to share how he's missing multiple bucket-list shows (including CMA Fest), adding "My commitment to everyone is to truly rest so I can get back out to do what I love more than anything," closing the post with, "Promise I'll make it up to you! Love, Nate."
