Morgan Wallen is addressing rumors.
The 33-year-old country singer-songwriter spoke out in a video posted to his Instagram Story on Saturday (June 6) following a last minute decision to cancel the Pittsburgh stop on his ongoing tour due to weather.
“All right, y’all. This morning, my team walked on my bus, told me that they had been consulting with local officials and that I should cancel my show in Pittsburgh tonight. And I said, why? They said that there was going to be strong winds in the area. And I said, OK. So that’s what I did,” he began.
“And that was the information I had in the moment. And I trusted my team. I understand that that wind and whatever else hasn’t gotten to Pittsburgh yet. I know it has touched some of Pennsylvania, so my heart goes out to all those affected by it,” he continued.
“But the truth of the matter is, I have a large stage that in those conditions could become fatal to a lot of folks around it. So I did the best I could with the information I had in that moment.”
“I’ve been seeing a lot of nonsense about me that is simply not true, and I just wanted to clear the air. I think my true fans know that that’s not how I operate in general, but I had to say it. Y’all take care,” he went on to say.
Morgan encountered technical difficulties while playing piano during a performance of “Sand In My Boots” in Denver a few days before.
After continuing the song a cappella, he walked back to the piano and flipped it over onstage.
Morgan spoke out about the incident in a sarcastic way.
