John's next scheduled show is Oct. 28 in Nashville.

It's been a tough week for the singer. His mother-in-law, Gladys Furnish, died on Oct. 24.

John's husband, David Furnish, wrote on Instagram, \"Today I lost my beautiful, angelic Mother. She passed away peacefully in the middle of the night, with me and my brothers by her side.\"
