Morgan Wallen was arrested in Nashville over the Memorial Day Weekend.  On Saturday, May 23, 2020, Wallen was booked on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct.  

The country music star was thrown out of Kid Rock's Honky Tonk in downtown Nashville around 11:00PM.  Shortly after he was placed in handcuffs by the Nashville PD.  He had reportedly kicked glass items around inside the bar before he was escorted out by security.  According to the officers, Wallen had a strong smell of alcohol on him and appeared to be a danger to himself and others.  This prompted the police to arrest him for "being intoxicated in public, unable to take care of himself, and the reasonable likelihood the offense would continue."

Wallen was later released on bond of $500.

Morgan took to Twitter on Sunday to apologize for the incident.  He said he and his friends "were horse-playing around" that was preceded by "a couple bar stops."  He apologized to the bar staff and thanked "local authorities for being so professional and doing their job with class.” He finished with “Love y’all.”

Jason Aldean has cancelled some dates of his We Back Tour.  The original date that was planned for Minnesota was on March 14, 2020.  This show was supposed to take place at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.  Due to COVID-19 the March date was postponed until August 8, 2020.

However, Jason has decided to cancel this show altogether.  We received an email stating the show was cancelled.  The email said we would automatically receive a refund to the card used to purchase the tickets in as soon as 30 days from May 8, 2020.  If you purchased these tickets on the secondary market, the refund would go to the original purchaser.

From what we can tell, Jason has not cancelled the tour completely.  So please keep an eye on your email to see if your show is still scheduled as-is or if it has been cancelled.

Kenny Chesney has cancelled his 2020 Chillaxification Tour.  The tour was originally set to kick off on April 18 in Texas and go through August 29 in Massachusetts.  Kenny had originally cancelled the first leg of the tour through May 28 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Kenny released a statement on his website stating "With so many tours needing to move, and wanting to make sure we are in the best possible circumstances for No Shoes Nation, I think – and I hate this – it’s best to move everything into 2021."  He added "In the best interest of everyone – No Shoes Nation, my road family, the staff at the venues – we have decided to quit moving the dates around on the calendar trying to make a chunk of this year work and move where we believe we can roll out our entire Chillaxification Tour."

According to Kenny and his camp, there are still too many unknowns surrounding the pandemic.  The most important thing to consider is not putting the fans' lives in danger.

Original tickets purchased are automatically valid for a rescheduled tour date.  If you have tickets to a postponed show and the new tour date does not work for you, refund options will be available at the time a rescheduled show date is announced.

Thomas Rhett shaved his beard during the quarantine and he instantly looks a lot younger.  He also looks vastly different.  It's weird to see someone without a beard when that is the look they've had for as long as you can remember.

He posted his new look on Instagram where he said "First time in 5 years I've shaved my beard off.. I immediately feel 10 years younger."  Here is his new look:
