Aldean, who was onstage when the gunman unleashed his attack on the Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas, said he will take some time this weekend to “mourn” for those who have died.
“I feel like out of respect for the victims, their families and our fans, it is the right thing to do,” Aldean said in a statement posted on Twitter.
“It has been an emotional time for everyone involved this week, so we plan to take some time to mourn the ones we have lost and be close with our family and friends.”
The country singer was scheduled to play in Los Angeles, Chula Vista and Anaheim.
