Country Star, 49, Says He'll 'Never' Lip Sync — Even If His Voice Sounds 'Froggy'originally appeared onParade. Luke Bryanisn't a fan of faking it, and the country star recently promised fans they never had to worry about him phoning in a performance, no matter how rough his voice might sound "I'll never dive into the lip-syncing world," Bryan, 49, said in an interview withTaste of Country Nightspublished on August 1. "You'll always be hearing me, whether it's a little froggy or not. I'll never try to fool anybody or sing around it." In the past, Bryan has made fans aware if he wasn't feeling well or experiencing a particularly taxing moment. Instead, he lets the fans take up the slack – something they're more than happy to do most of the time. "Sometimes you're so stressed about not being able to sing like you want to, if you tell the fans you're under the weather, it relaxes you a little bit and I'll actually just start relaxing and singing better," he explained. The "Mind of a Country Boy" was recently forced tocancel a few of his showsdue to a bout with COVID-19, but he said that he prefers to do that instead of trying to power through a concert if he's not at his best. During his June 19 performance in Rogers, Arkansas, Bryan had to stop halfway through after he began experiencing vocal issues. He refunded fans their money, but the virus took a toll on him. The American Idol host also had to cancel two of his upcoming shows in Texas and reschedule them for later this year in September. Bryan lateropened up about his illnesswhen he returned to the stage in Greenville, South Carolina, on July 17. "Three weeks ago, I got COVID," the "Crash My Party" artist told the crowd. "You can boo that s--t all you want, but I got it. I had to cancel some shows, and now I'm back, but I'm not 100 percent cause it's still kicking my a--." Bryan's current tour still has several more dates on the calendar and will wrap up in January 2026. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Country Star, 49, Says He'll 'Never' Lip Sync — Even If His Voice Sounds 'Froggy'first appeared on Parade on Aug 1, 2025 This story was originally reported byParadeon Aug 1, 2025, where it first appeared.
