ABC/Image Group LAVince Gill was scheduled to perform on Wednesday’s CMA Awards with Ricky Skaggs but had to cancel his appearance because he’s being treated for kidney stones.
The two singers and longtime friends were planning on performing Ricky’s “Highway 40 Blues” together, but after Vince had to bow out, Keith Urban and Brothers Osborne‘s John Osborne stepped in.
Vince’s publicist tells ABC Radio that Vince is currently undergoing treatment, and that he’ll be postponing the next four dates of his tour. Vince’s shows scheduled for tonight through November 18 will be rescheduled for a later date.
“To have Keith Urban here to sing ‘Highway 40’ with me — we’ve done that at the Opry, but not here,” Ricky told reporters backstage following their performance. “He was sitting in for Vince Gill, who couldn’t make it because of a little sickness.”
