Stapleton injuries result in postponed shows
It was unclear when or how the injury occurred.
Stapleton posted on Facebook, "After seeing a specialist, I have some information to share. I'm on the road to recovery from a broken bone and a detached tendon in my right index finger. The doctor is hopeful that with some physical therapy I will be playing guitar again soon. Right now, I can't possibly give you guys the show you deserve. I always want to give you my very best."
"I want to thank you for all of the positive thoughts and kind words you have shared over the last few days. So many of you have been inconvenienced, and I'm grateful for your patience and graciousness."
"There is little in this world that I enjoy more than getting to make music with all of you night after night. Thank you for the privilege. Your support and understanding through all of this lets me know now, more than ever, I have the best fans in the world."

However, when it comes to pure singing, Stapleton is arguably the genre's most naturally talented singer. He doesn't really need any more proof of that, of course, but his "Higher" album ...
Chris Stapleton's "Starting Over" release is one of those rare beauties of an album, where your favorite track may change from day to day. All of 'em are just that great. It is, simply put, Stapleton's best full-length to date.
