NextImg:Morgan Wallen’s label denies claim singer was ‘too drunk’ to perform canceled show

The head of Morgan Wallen’s record label denied a claim that the country singer was “too drunk” to perform his canceled concert in Oxford, Miss.

A TikTok user shared a video of a security guard at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium telling attendees at Sunday’s show that an allegedly intoxicated Wallen “couldn’t walk” and had to be taken out of the venue by ambulance.

“Losing his voice is bullcrap,” the unnamed officer added in the video, which has amassed over 3.6 million views.

However, both the guard’s employer and Wallen’s label have shot down the claim.

“A hired employee of BEST Crowd Management made false claims as it related to last night’s Morgan Wallen concert and we do not stand behind the detail in his statement,” the security company wrote on its Instagram Story Monday.

Big Loud Records CEO and co-founder Seth England reposted the message on his Story, adding, “Thank you @bestcrowdmanagement for correcting your employee, who made up an entire story that was nowhere close to true. Every detail was false.”

England added, “Laughable what some people will just say for a reaction.”

Approximately 60,000 country music fans packed into the Ole Miss football stadium Sunday, only to be informed minutes before showtime that Wallen, 29, had “lost his voice” and therefore was “unable to perform.”

Opening acts Hardy, Ernest and Nate Smith had already taken the stage by that point, and many ticketholders also purchased food, beverages and merchandise.

“Completely disappointed in @MorganWallen!! Been sitting in this stadium for 3 hrs and he just announced the show is canceled!!! COMPLETE BULLS–T!!!” one fan tweeted.

“You don’t cancel a show 5 minutes before showtime. Period. If he was sick or had no voice he knew it much sooner than that. Pitiful,” another Twitter user wrote.

Wallen subsequently apologized, explaining on his Instagram Story that he had “spent the day resting up, talking to [his] doctor and working through [his] vocal exercises” but was still “unable to sing.”

“I am so sorry,” he added. “I promise you guys I tried everything I could.”

The “Sand in My Boots” crooner has since rescheduled three additional stops on his One Night at a Time World Tour while on “doctor-ordered vocal rest.”
