Gavin DeGraw was forced to pull the plug at the last minute during a show for the Boys & Girls Club. His team says he was sick as a dog, but he is already planning to recover.

Fundraising sources tell TMZ...Gavin was booked to perform last weekend at the 2022 "Enchanted Masquerade" Chrysalis Ball for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Collin County, Utah. Texas.

The club hosts over 5,000 children, and Gavin's performance was the first major in-person event they had planned since the COVID shutdown. That's why the organizers were so disappointed when Gavin had to cancel the day of the event.

Our sources tell us that the singer's team informed the Boys & Girls Club that Gavin had become so ill that he had to be hospitalized...and would not be able to make it to the event.

We were told that the event organizers had already spent $20,000 on production costs and ended up using the band originally booked for their after-party to replace Gavin.

It's unclear what Gavin's illness was - our sources say his appearance fee will be reimbursed, but the club will not recoup production and rider costs.

Naturally, there were disappointed people at the fundraiser.
