Although grateful for the support, Wyatt couldn’t help but remember what he had to cancel due to the illness. “It broke my heart to have to cancel the Dustpiles release show, UTBS and my Opry debut that was supposed to be tonight. Those were bucket list shows for me but I’ll do everything I can to get back to big sky and we’ll have a new Opry date for y’all soon.”
