However, with a back surgery looming on the horizon—and the extensive recovery it demands—McGraw has made the tough decision to step away from the physically grueling role, according to Deadline. This follows McGraw's knee surgery in August after an injury on tour, which has already forced him to cancel the rest of his 2024 concerts.
