Morgan Wallen is on another apology tour following his high-flying chair-throwing act from a sixth-floor rooftop bar in Nashville on April 7. Nearly two weeks after her arrest for allegedly throwing a chair from the roof of a Nashville bar, the country superstar addressed the incident on social media.
“I didn’t feel good speaking publicly until I made peace with some people,” Wallen wrote in X (formerly Twitter). “I have been in contact with the authorities in Nashville, my family and the good people at Chief’s. “I am not proud of my behavior and I accept responsibility,” she added.
“I have the utmost respect for the officers who work every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no changes. -MW”
Wallen was arrested and briefly detained on April 8 for allegedly throwing a chair from the sixth-floor rooftop of Chief’s, Eric Church’s new bar on Nashville’s Lower Broadway.
Reports indicate that the chair collapsed just feet from two Metro Nashville police officers.

Wallen was taken into custody shortly after midnight and faces three felony counts of reckless endangerment, along with a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. He posted bail of $15,250, securing his release around 3:30 am.
Meanwhile, on April 9, the official Chief’s Instagram account shared a photo showing a new sign outside the nightclub that read, “Our pigs fly, our chairs don’t.”
Morgan Wallen’s tour resumes Saturday night
The incident occurred just days after Wallen, 30, kicked off his 2024 “One Night at a Time” tour. The tour will continue Saturday night (April 20) at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi. Wallen’s next court appearance related to the incident is scheduled for May 3. Meanwhile, he is expected to perform at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on May 2-3.
The performance at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium marks Wallen’s return to Ole Miss after last year’s unfortunate event, where unexpectedly canceled his show just a few minutes before the scheduled date for their performance and after the opening acts concluded. He later apologized on his Instagram Story for the abrupt cancellation, citing voice issues.
Of course, this isn’t Wallen’s first run-in with the law in recent years. In fact, in 2016 he faced a DUI charge, but the case was ultimately dismissed. Additionally, Wallen faced major criticism in 2021 when footage was leaked showing him using racial slurs. He later apologized and stated that there was “no excuse” for his behavior.
