Hill can be seen in a video on a fan’s Instagram page saying, “He’s been super dehydrated. I apologise, but I made the decision that he cannot come back out on stage.”

Hill then performed the song What A Friend We Have In Jesus and wrapped up the show.

According to the New York Post’s Page Six, a representative for McGraw issued a statement saying McGraw was attended to by local medical staff on-site and will be fine.
