The singer's 19-year-old son Jerry Greer passed away in a boating accident at the weekend, and as Craig continues to grieve, he has axed 10 upcoming concerts scheduled throughout the rest of July, reported E! online.
His cancelled performances included a mix of festival and headlining shows throughout the US, including stops in California, Florida, and Alabama.
He is still scheduled to take the stage at the Clatsop County Fair in Astoria, Oregon on August 4.
The family tragedy began on Sunday, when Greer went missing after he was involved in a tubing accident on Kentucky Lake in Tennessee.
Rescue crews recovered his body on Monday evening and officials are still investigating the incident. A representative for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) has revealed Jerry's life jacket was "not Coast Guard approved".
The TWRA rep added that Jerry may have collided with another tuber prior to going into the water.
Since the news of Jerry's death hit headlines, Craig's fellow country singers have shared their condolences, with stars such as Brad Paisley, Martina McBride and Chely Wright all tweeting their support and prayers.
