AceShowbiz - Morgan Wallen's fans braved the element at Ole Miss on Saturday night, April 20 as the singer took to the stage for his first performance since being arrested in Nashville two weeks prior. Despite the looming clouds, the concert proceeded as scheduled, marking Wallen's return to Oxford after his abrupt cancellation last year.
Before the show, the stadium poked fun at the previous incident, displaying a message on the jumbotron, "Ladies and gentlemen, fortunately Morgan has a full voice and is very able to perform tonight. … No reason to make your way to the exits for the next two hours because Morgan and the boys are about to rock Oxford's face off!!!"
During his performance the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, Wallen continued to make light of his recent circumstances. He told a story about nearly being kicked off his high school baseball team for his antics, drawing a parallel to his current situation.
Despite the seriousness of his misconduct that could have caused injury to others and his claim that he's "not proud" of his behavior, he laughed it off at the concert, saying he was just being "a little rowdy." He said while holding back his laugh, "I was a li'l rowdy back then. I guess I'm still a little rowdy now."
Wallen's arrest on April 7 came after he allegedly threw a chair from the roof of a bar in Nashville. He reportedly laughed as the chair landed three feet away from the police officers who happened to be at the scene. He also flashed huge grin in his mugshot. He was charged with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
Despite his recent actions, he was welcomed back on stage with open arms by his fans. He proudly said, "There's been a lot of people who never gave up on me - some of them in this building tonight… you guys included.… I just wanted to shout out that part of my life."
Wallen's tour began in Indianapolis on April 4 and is set to continue throughout the country with opening acts Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith, and Lauren Watkins.
