Country music artist Morgan Wallen issued an apology after being arrested for an incident involving throwing a chair from the rooftop of a Nashville bar. The 30-year-old was arrested on three felony charges by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on April 7. 2024.

In a recent statement shared on his X account, Wallen expressed remorse for his actions and confirmed he has since reached out to affected parties, including Nashville law enforcement, his family, and the staff at Chiefโ€™s Bar.

โ€œI didnโ€™t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. Iโ€™ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chiefโ€™s. Iโ€™m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility,โ€ he wrote. โ€œI have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change.โ€

The arrest occurred shortly after Wallen began the 2024 segment of his One Night at a Time World Tour, which is scheduled to continue in Oxford, Mississippi. The incident took place at Chiefโ€™s Bar, co-owned by country singer Eric Church, which opened just two days before the episode unfolded.
