Cody Johnson To 'Undergo Immediate Surgery,' Drops Out Of 2025 Shows

Cody Johnson will no longer be able to perform his concerts through the end of the year because of an “immediate surgery” and weeks-long healing journey.

The award-winning country star shared a statement on Tuesday morning (October 7), explaining he’d experienced a severe rupture in his ear drum while battling an infection. Without the surgery, “my downtime could be months,” he said.

“It is with a very heavy heart I have to share the remainder of this year’s concert performances will not be able to happen,” Johnson shared in his statement. “While battling a severe upper respiratory and sinus infection, I burst my ear drum. The severity of the rupture means I must undergo immediate surgery. The healing process will take many weeks, and it is not possible for me to sing during this time. Without the surgery my downtime could be months. I pray for full healing so I can get well and return to doing what I love. Thank you COJO Nation for the love and support now, and always.”

Johnson noted that concertgoers should “stay tuned for an email from your ticket providers for further details.”
