Eric Church has canceled his Saturday night performance in San Antonio, Texas so he can watch Duke University take on North Carolina State in the Final Four of the NCAA tournament.
A note was sent out to his fan club, The Church Choir, through Ticketmaster. It says in part, "As a lifelong Carolina basketball fan, I’ve watched Carolina and Duke battle over the years but to have them matchup in the Final Four for the first time in history of the NCAA Tournament is any sports enthusiast 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."
