Zach John King Cancels Concerts Following Fathers Death

Budding country music sensation Zach John King has cancelled multiple upcoming shows as he faces a personal loss.

The 29-year-old music artist announced on Instagram this week that his father died suddenly.

Addressing his 190,000 followers on Tuesday, he wrote, 'Friday my dad suddenly went home to Jesus,' before noting, 'I am cancelling the next two weeks of shows to grieve with my family.'

King was slated to appear at a series of fairs and festivals, including opening for Riley Green's Cowboy As It Gets Tour and 's Word On The Street Tour, per Holler.

After the hiatus, he promised, 'Imma do what my dad would want me to do and get back to work.'

Memorializing his father elsewhere in the heartfelt message, he shared: 'He was our family’s rock. My best friend. The greatest man I will ever know. John King was the kind of husband, father, grandfather, friend, and follower of Jesus you’ll only find once in a lifetime.'

The grieving son added about his dad, 'Those that knew him knew his eyes were never fixed on this weary world. It used to frustrate me how joyful he could be even in the worst moment of life. In his own words, that joy came from ‘the hope I have in Jesus.'

'In the literal blink of an eye Friday, he was home with Jesus where his soul longed to be,' he stated.
