Oh, for crying out loud, another festival drama! Austin City Limits Music Festival just announced that Stephen Sanchez is bailing on his performance this afternoon on the T-Mobile Stage at 5:30 p.m. The Nashville-based singer took to the 'gram, apologizing to fans for the last-minute cancellation. Get your tiny violins out, folks!

"ACL, I woke up this morning incredibly ill and with my voice entirely gone. As excited as I was to see you all today, I'm unable to perform," Sanchez posted on his Instagram story. "I apologize dearly and hope to make it up in the future. Thank you for understanding."

ACL Fest also notified fest attendees of the lineup change at 2:35 p.m. "Unfortunately, Stephen Sanchez will no longer be able to perform. The Paper Kites will now perform at 5:30 p.m. at the T-Mobile Stage." Ugh, the paper kites better bring their A-game or else!
