Nashville star Hayden Panettiere, who is engaged to professional boxer Wladimir Klitschko, will not be joining the men for the mini-tour of the east coast, but that fine's with Hayden, who is still ironing out her wedding plans. She will be allowed to stay in town with her fiancé in order to film the season finale pretend concert for 1,000-plus extras.
It has been six months or so, since Hayden Panettiere first announced her engagement to Olympic boxer and Ukraine native Wladimir Klitschko.
The couple have had to put their eastern European wedding plans on hold, while Wladimir's homeland worked through some political troubles, which most of the nation is still doing save for places like Crimea or certain military bases, where the Russian military has firmly settled any questions about who is or should be in charge.
Perhaps that is why ABC has decided to leave Hayden off the upcoming mini-tour; maybe the network thinks she can use the rest.
According to the NY Times, the spring dates will performed solely by the men of Nashville, but Hayden and Connie Britton will, at least, be allowed to participate in the season finale's pretend concert:
"The men of Nashville...are going on a short tour this spring, the first such outing connected to the show.
"Charles Esten, Jonathan Jackson, and San Palladio will play three shows along with Chris Carmack and Clare Bowen. The tour starts on April 25 in Chicago, then goes to Washington on May 4 and New York on May 6.
"And on April 9, the show will tape a concert at LP field in Nashville featuring Connie Britton, along with Ms. Panettiere, Mr. Esten and others.
"The concert, which will have more than 1,000 extras and will not be open to the public, is to be shown as part of the season finale on May 14."
There is still no official word, when the couple plan to set the date for their Ukrainian nuptials.
But at the rate things are working out in that part of the former Soviet empire right now, there isn't any reason they shouldn't be able to get hitched by 2035 at the latest.
