Dwight Yoakam is speaking out after an “emergency takeoff abort” on a plane nearly caused him to miss his show at Buddy Holly Hall last week, making him nearly two hours late to take the stage. The unexpected delay had fans confused as they waited for the country music icon to arrive for his scheduled performance in Lubbock, Texas.
On Sunday evening (Feb. 15), Yoakam took to social media to personally apologize to concertgoers and explain what really happened that evening. In a lengthy statement, the “Guitars & Cadillacs” singer explained that a mechanical failure warning forced pilots to abort takeoff.
“I want to personally apologize to the fans who bought tickets and attended our show in Lubbock TX this past Thursday evening the 12th of February,” Yoakam began in a lengthy statement, detailing what happened “It has only today been brought to my attention that unfortunately the cirumstances surrounding my delayed arrival to perform the concert that night were not conveyed clearly by an in person announcement from the stage but rather by a vague anonymous PA announcement about a flight delay,” the “Guitars & Cadillacs” singer continued.
