The guy was in a no-win situation. Cancelling altogether would upset some, while cutting the show short upset others. There was no way he'd be able to please everyone.
And there's a lot at stake when a show is cancelled on such short notice. People don't get paid and refunds have to be offered. It's a big deal.
I am sure he thought he could force himself to power through it, but unfortunately realized too late that he just couldn't. And I wouldn't be surprised if the tech error from the previous show was a factor in his decision too. If he had cancelled, no doubt some would have concluded that it was done out of embarrassment or something like that.
I feel bad for the fans that got short changed, but I feel bad for Jon too. He must have truly felt like shit to not even play Wanted.
