When Nat Myers entered the hospital back in February he was diagnosed with a rare cancer and given days or just weeks to live.
He’s still around, though, and despite the fact that his cancer is still incurable, he just made a pretty incredible announcement.
And that announcement is that he is back on out the road.
Myers released a string of six concert dates on his Instagram account and wrote, “I’m excited to hit the road this September & October & see a bunch of yall.”
His announcement came amid what was a heartbreaking week for him. The country and blues star shared last week that his father died.
“This mornin my father Daniel Lee Myers joined the lord,” the 33-year-old wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the man. “Dad, veteran, and friend to many. Rest easy, daddy, may your body and mind be whole again. Look over your poor son. August 2nd, 1948 — September 7th, 2025.”
Myers already had the love and support of the country music and blues world, too, but there was no shortage of musicians and fans offering prayers and well-wishes in his replies.
“So sorry, Nat,” Kelsey Waldon wrote. “Been a tough year. You’re a strong, strong soul. Keep fighting. Sending all the love.”
“Sending love and my condolences brother,” Langhorne Slim wrote.
There were plenty more comments like that and you can see them here.
Myers cancer ordeal began back in February when he checked into a hospital with what he thought was a lung infection.
“As many of you all know I have been laid low by a rare cancer called a sarcoma,” the 33-year-old wrote on Instagram. “What I thought was a prolonged lung infection turned out to be much more sinister, with growth around my heart and pulmonary artery.
“Doctors of varying humanity have given me days, or weeks to live, but I live by my odds and not theirs,” he added. “I am currently looking for the next opportunities to overcome this cool deck of cards I’ve been dealt. I’ve been taken off most my IV’s and gotten off a lot of the drugs they had me on.
“I’m feeling better than I have since I entered this facility and am hoping to continue my next step into recovery and my future as a survivor,” he added. “I am taking things day by day and conserving and building the energy I need to overcome this affliction. I refuse to speak from the past past tense, because there is beauty and life in the struggle I am currently fighting, and I will overcome this. My next quest is to access/gain contact with as many cancer facilities to access more proper care for what I need to succeed over this cancer. I do not know how long this fight will take, but I know so long as my heart beats I will overcome this.”
Myers recently got a second opinion form Memorial Sloan Kettering which provided better news.
“Because my tumors appear to be responding to the chemo, they want me to keep the course as it is with OSU,” he said. “But they said that as trials present themselves, & as the tumors shrink, isolated therapies & more options, are already in their pipeline, & part of the plan they are mapping out for me.”
