Country singer Ingrid Andress announced on Tuesday that she is checking into rehab after Monday night’s heavily criticized performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at baseball’s annual Home Run Derby, which took place this year in Arlington, Texas.
In a statement shared across social media, Andress admitted that she was intoxicated at the time of the performance before apologizing to her fans.
“I’m not gonna bulls*** y’all, I was drunk last night,” the singer, 32, wrote. “I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I’ll let y’all know how rehab is I hear it’s super fun.”
Andress’s label Atlantic Records declined Yahoo Entertainment’s request for comment, but a representative confirmed that the singer’s upcoming shows in Nashville (July 17) and Denver (July 24) have been canceled and that “venues are in touch with ticket buyers regarding refunds.”
