HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Country artist Trace Adkins has postponed his Dec 12th concert in Huntington.

A spokesperson for the Big Sandy Superstore Arena says it's due to a flu-like illness that will require several weeks of recovery.

The concert is now scheduled for Thursday, February 12, 2009, at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for the December 12th date will be honored on February 12th.

Both Craig Morgan and Jason Michael Carroll will be appearing on the new date.

Gotta agree - simply put, it was probably a lack of sales. Also, if you actually read the article it mentions something like he is taking SEVERAL WEEKS off to recover from "flu like" symptoms?!?! The guy is middle-aged and appears to be in relatively good health. I'm 47 and have NEVER spent more than two DAYS in bed with the "flu" (or any other illness for that matter) and most of us don't take two, three or more weeks off from work for the "flu". If the guy simply wants a break, be honest and take one - but I am tired of these entertainers always whining about the flu or throat problems. Come up with a new schick already - that excuse is getting lame!

Well if he's really sick, I hope he gets better soon but I agree it was probably lack of ticket sales like it always is & you can't blame artists for not wanting to come where there's no audience In this economy people don't have money for concerts, movies etc & worse for Trace, it's the holidays too so if anyone DOES have a few extra $$$$ they need it for those instead of entertainment The old joke here of course (to us "old" residents of H'town anyway") is that even Elvis died so he wouldn't have to come to Huntington lol! (for you "kids" who don't know or remember, Elvis was supposed to open the Civic Center when it was new in 77 but died that August) So I guess Trace may have said.."hmm, Huntington, WEST VIRGINIA?" Nah - thanks anyway LOL. If you're really sick Trace? Feel better soon cause we love ya

Get better Trace, see you in February. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Let's face it. Ticket sales weren't where they needed to be. This man has played a show - and ENTIRE show - and gone immediately to the hospital to have part of his colon removed. I think he could handle a flu.
