Country music Star Eric Church is cancelling a show in San Antonio because he’s a North Carolina Tar Heel fan and wants to be in New Orleans for the Final Four.

This is his statement to everyone who bought tickets:

To the Church Choir.

This Saturday, my family and I are going to stand together to cheer on the Tar Heels as the team has made it to the Final Four.

As a lifelong Carolina basketball fan, I’ve watched Carolina and Duke battle over the years but to have them matchup [sic] in the Final Four for the first time in the history of the NCAA Tournament is any sports enthusiast’s dream.

This is also the most selfish thing I’ve ever asked the Choir to do: to give up your Saturday night plans with us so that I can have this moment with my family and sports community. However. it’s that same type of passion felt by the people who fill the seats at our concerts that makes us want to be part of a crowd at a game of this significance.

Woody Durham always said, “Go where you go and do what you do,” thanks for letting me go here and be with the Tar Heels.

Fans of the “Church Choir” are obviously pissed:

Damn Eric Church is a huge fan! What year did he graduate from UNC? Oh, he went to Appalachian State and grew up three hours from Chapel Hill. Not that that matters because there are people who live in Philly and root for Nova.

But here’s the thing, why schedule a concert the weekend of the Final Four? The Final Four is the same weekend every year. Eric Church obviously didn’t believe in the Fighting Hubert Davis’s when they announced the dates last April. If I’m Brady Manek I tell Eric Church to kick rocks if I see him. Appreciate the support, jackass. If UNC wins it all I hope I don’t see Eric Church pouring champagne on Leaky Black. God forbid Temple ever makes a run to the Final Four. For now until I die we will not have any CB events the weekend of the Final Four.

The fans obviously get the short end of the stick here because there are plenty of people who planned on driving hours, booking hotels, flying in because San Antonio might be the closest tour stop to their home. The flights are non-refundable and sometimes the hotels are when you’re this close to check in. There are events fans probably cancelled with family and friends because they had this concert planned and the babysitter was in place. Now there’s definitely some husband who probably has to go to his shitty in-laws’ BBQ because he doesn’t have an excuse any more.

You know who would never do this? Luke Combs. The People’s Rockstar. Also, as a diehard Panthers fan let’s be honest they aren’t playing in anything significant any time soon.

Kinkead: This would be like Hall and Oates cancelling a show to watch Penn State play Bama in the CFP
