The reigning CMA Vocal Group of the Year has been forced to postpone its summer tour. Little Big Town announced today that all shows through July 30th have been either canceled or postponed so that member Jimi Westbrook can have surgery to remove a polyp on his vocal cord. The group, made up of Westbrook, Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman and Phillip Sweet, shared the news with fans via a statement on their website. “With heavy hearts we want to let you guys know that Jimi will have to undergo surgery next week to remove a polyp on his vocal cord. As a result, doctors have ordered him to rest his voice and completely recuperate before we continue touring,” it read.
