While Breland broke into the music industry just five years ago, the singer wasted no time proving his talents. Sharing his love for genres like R&B, country rap, gospel, and soul music, the musician beautifully blended the music to create his own sound. Songs like “My Truck” caused Breland to gain fame as it reached No. 26 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. Having his music streamed over 150 million times, the star recently canceled one of his upcoming shows due to a freak accident on the road.
On April 5, Breland was scheduled to perform at The Golden Record in St. Louis. With fans excited to see the singer, Breland made his way to the venue. The only problem, fans learned that the show was canceled before it even started. Sharing the news online, Breland explained how his band’s trailer broke off from the vehicle and crashed. While none of the band was injured, the equipment took a tumble.

Our trailer broke off of our bus and flew down the side of the highway, damaging our equipment. We’re devastated by this turn of events, but it is beyond our control. Ticket holders will be contacted by the original point of purchase with further information.”
