Kenny Chesney's Sun City Carnival tour is doing well this summer, even in cities that are not typically Country Music based. Chesney sold an impressive 36, 258 tickets to his stadium show in San Francisco this past weekend, despite Sugarland canceling their performance at the show. 

Nettles canceled two shows this past weekend with Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban due to vocal problems, reported CMT.com. According to a message she posted on the duo's Web site, "I sang too much. And I blew my voice. It's like a muscle. It's like any other part of your body. If you sprain it or strain it, then you have to heal it, or else you will break it. And I don't want to break it. I want us to come back out there and see you." Click here to see a video from Sugarland regarding the cancellations.

“We totally understand about Jennifer,” Chesney said. “She needs to take care of her voice, and I completely support that. It let Miranda and Lady A have some extra time… to really stretch out and show people a little bit more of their stuff… which was great 'cause I think every act out here is that good!”
