A man has been arrested for posting a “terroristic threat” at a Morgan Wallen concert on Friday (August 2).
Just before the country singer was due to take to the stage, Aaron Brown threatened on social media to shoot “two individuals, who were members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization” at the concert.
Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones were just some high-profile Chiefs players seen attending the concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
The threat delayed the Wallen concert by 40 minutes, as Brown was located and eventually apprehended by police. He was then charged with a class E felony of making a “terroristic threat” in the second degree. A $15,000 bond was reportedly set, with prosecutors requesting a $250,000 cash bond, according to their office.
In court documents, Brown was quoted as saying the X post was “a stupid, stupid, stupid mistake”, claiming he had never made threats on social media before. His girlfriend also reportedly told investigators that the alleged threat was posted and deleted on a “burner” account where he’d “tweet stupid stuff.”
Representatives for Wallen and the Kansas City Chiefs have not yet responded to requests for comment by the media.
Last July, Wallen was hit by a fan’s phone during a live show. The country star was playing a show at Denver’s Mile High Stadium last week when someone threw an iPhone onto the stage from the pit. The phone hit Wallen on the arm and landed his feet, but he barely flinched. He picked it up, tossed it to the side and carried on singing without missing a beat.
In other news, Darius Rucker thinks people should forgive Morgan Wallen as he’s “tried to really better himself”.
Lewis Capaldi reportedly picked up the bill for an entire pub packed with England supporters following their dramatic World Cup win against Mexico.
The singer songwriter was spotted enjoying the match with Rita Ora at the Marlborough pub in Mayfair as the Three Lions secured a thrilling 3 to 2 victory.
Even though his home nation, Scotland, endured a disappointing tournament and were knocked out during the group stage, Capaldi still joined in the celebrations after the final whistle by treating the England fans in the pub to a round of drinks.
“Lewis bought every single person in the Marlborough a drink,” one customer told The Sun. “The bar staff were told to put every drink ordered on his tab. By the end of the night it came to almost £2,000.”
The pubgoer continued, saying it was “such a generous surprise and a genuinely lovely thing to do, especially from a Scotland fan… Lewis was an absolute legend. Not only did he buy everyone a drink, but he was also so kind to every person who came over to say hello.”
Ora also posted several videos from the lively celebrations, writing: “NOTHING beats a London pub game EVER… It’s coming home!!! The fact I woke up with my hair clips in and my hair has not moved says. Watch it till the end… trust me.”
Throughout the celebrations, Capaldi and Ora sang each other's songs before joining the rest of the crowd in celebrating England's victory by chanting, “Football’s coming home, it’s coming home…”
The celebrations come just before Capaldi headlines BST Hyde Park this weekend. The Scottish singer songwriter is set to perform at the London concert series on both Saturday, July 11, and Sunday, July 12.
Those huge outdoor performances are part of his UK and Ireland headline tour this summer, and any remaining tickets can be found here.
Capaldi recently revealed that one of the BST Hyde Park concerts will also be streamed live worldwide on YouTube.
The performance will be the biggest headline show of his career so far. Fans across the globe will be able to watch for free on YouTube without a paywall. The broadcast will feature 26 cameras capturing every moment, along with aerial footage filmed by drones.
Joining him on the July 11 BST Hyde Park lineup are The Vaccines, Absolutely, Nieve Ella, Tyler Ballgame, Kerr Mercer, NECKBREAKERS, Benjamin Steer, Luz, Sebastian Croft, and Luke La Volpe.
Meanwhile, England will face Norway in the World Cup quarter finals on the same evening as Capaldi's opening BST Hyde Park performance.
