Hey, it happens to the best of us.
Chris Young- one of my favorite voices in Country Music- most likely had a few too many prior to taking the stage at “Boots in the Park” in Tucson, AZ over the weekend.
A couple of videos have gone viral on Tik Tok of his performances, and… yeah. Definitely not the live caliber that I expected:
And another…
Jeepers.
It’s been reported that people were leaving the show early, and I totally get why. Fans are accusing him of being way too drunk to perform, and a few are saying that it’s sound issues.
Honestly, sounds more like a few too many tequila shots to me.
Chris Young has yet to address the issue.
I honestly can’t judge, as when I used to sing in cover bands in Memphis in my early twenties, I have had a few boozy performances myself. I’m just glad social media wasn’t a big thing at the time, and that smartphones didn’t exist.
Thank you Baby Jesus for that.
Then again, people weren’t shelling out mega-bucks to see me perform. And there was never a cover… so it IS a little different.
I feel like if your fans are paying to see you perform, keep it together for that hour/hour and-a-half that you’re on stage.
Hopefully this is a one-off for Chris, and that he keeps the Whisky shots till after the show.
Still… one of my favorite voices for sure… and I hope this is just a bad night.
It happens!
