Morgan Wallen’s last-minute cancellation on Sunday because he “lost his voice” is still reverberating . . . everywhere. He canceled 3 more shows. He released a statement saying that he’s “on doctor-ordered vocal rest” so he’s rescheduling those concerts for later this year. But there’s a video making the rounds of a security guard talking to some fans at the concert, telling them the “lost voice story” is “bullcrap”. He adds that the head of security said Morgan couldn’t perform because he was too drunk to walk, and that an “ambulance took him”. His boss, Best Crowd Management posted on social media. “A hired employee made false claims related to Morgan Wallen’s concert, and we do not stand behind the detail in his statement.” A rep from Morgan’s management company added that the guy’s “whole thing was made up, every detail was false, and even laughable”. Also, a disgruntled fan from Sunday filed a federal lawsuit against Morgan because the venue had yet to reimburse her for the ticket, and because the refund didn’t address the out of pocket expenses. But before it could even get going, she “dismissed it without prejudice” . . . which means it can be refiled.
