Country music star Morgan Wallen expressed frustration after experiencing technical issues during a recent show.
During the singer’s show at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, on Friday, May 29, Morgan, 33, apparently couldn’t hear the instruments and knocked over a piano on stage while performing, according to social media footage shared on both X and Instagram. TMZ and Billboard also reported on the onstage incident.
Amid technical problems, the singer was forced to perform his hit song “Sand in My Boots” a cappella, and went ahead with the show despite apparently having problems with his earphones.
Us Weekly reached out to Warren’s representatives for comment, but did not hear back at the time of publication.
The “Whiskey Glasses” singer, who debuted on Season 6 of The Voice in 2014, is no stranger to controversy. In May 2020, he was arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct outside Kid Rock’s Nashville bar, the Big Honky Tonk. He was later cleared of the charges.
“I went out downtown last night with some old friends,” he said via X, then known as Twitter. “We did not intend to cause any harm and we would like to say that we are sorry to the staff at the bar and to those affected.”
A man made headlines again after he was caught kissing multiple women during a maskless party at a university bar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, during the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
His reported partying ultimately cost him an appearance on Saturday Night Live.
“I’m in a hotel room in New York City, preparing for SNL this Saturday, and the show calls me and lets me know I can’t play anymore. And it’s because of COVID protocols, and I understand that,” Wallen said at the time. “While I am not positive about COVID-19, my actions last weekend were extremely short-sighted and clearly affected my long-term goals and dreams. I respect the show’s decision because I know I was putting them at risk. I take responsibility for this.”
Morgan Wallen is being sued by a fan for canceling a concert in Mississippi at the last minute. Concert goer Brandi Burcham filed a class action lawsuit on Tuesday, April 25, after Warren, 29, withdrew from the performance two days earlier. However, Burcham said in court documents that the venue promised a refund (…)
(Warren later made his official SNL debut on December 5, 2020.)
Then, in 2021, amidst heightened racial tensions in the country after the killing of George Floyd, TMZ sparked controversy again in February when it released a video of Warren using the N-word.
“I’m embarrassed and sorry,” the singer said in a statement at the time. “There is absolutely no excuse for using such words. I would like to sincerely apologize for using these words. I promise to do better.”
