Luke Bryan Punches (or Slaps) Front Row Fan in the Face at Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam
This story has been updated (see below).
On Wednesday Night (11-30) the big event in Nashville was the annual Charlie Daniels-hosted Volunteer Jam at the Bridgestone Arena that raises money for America’s service members. And being Charlie’s 80th birthday in 2016, the event took on special significance for the Country Music Hall of Famer.
Started in 1974, the Volunteer Jam has always attracted some of the biggest names in country music, and 2016 was no exception, arguably boasting some of the biggest star power ever, including pop country superstar Luke Bryan, along with Chirs Stapleton, Kid Rock, Travis Tritt, and others. Though it seemed like a strange, unintuitive lineup this year, the event was for a good cause, so there was little reason to raise gripes. Unfortunately, the actions of Luke Bryan have sullied the event after numerous videos and eyewitness accounts of Luke Bryan stopping down one of his songs to accost a front row fan and punching him in the face have surfaced.
What exactly caused the altercation is uncertain at this point, but even if words were exchanged, nothing seems to justify physical force upon someone who was not a threat to Bryan on stage. If the fan was being unruly, security should have removed him before Luke Bryan took it into his own hands. Luke Bryan’s “punch” was pretty weak when looking at it at closer angles, but nonetheless does not look good coming from the superstar. It’s a bit of a different situation than when Tim McGraw slapped a fan who grabbed onto him a couple of years ago. In this instance, Luke Bryan instigated the contact.
Expect explanations/apologies to be issued posthaste, and this story will be updated when these things become available. Until then, you can see the incident below for yourself.
– – – – – – – – –
***UPDATE 12:00 p.m. CST: A new video has surfaced of the incident showing the altercation from behind Luke Bryan (see below). Also, eyewitnesses say there was a group of individuals heckling Luke Bryan during the concert, including one holding a sign saying “we can see your camel toe” in reference to Luke’s common practice of wearing skinny jeans on stage. Other eyewitness accounts say the individual who Luke Bryan lashed out at was flipping him the bird, but that is not immediately obvious by any of the video at this point.
Luke Bryan’s representatives have been contacted, but have not addressed the incident so far.
***UPDATE 1:02 p.m. CST:
A Luke Bryan representative has issued a statement about the incident, but it includes no apology, and no explanation of why Luke Bryan felt the need to initiate physical contact with the individual. Instead, it just basically explains how the incident transpired.
A man in [the] front row was making crude hand gestures toward Luke during his performance. It was insulting not only to him, but more importantly to the men, women and families sitting around him who were there to support and celebrate Charlie Daniels and the efforts of raising money for the military veterans – some of who were in the audience. The concert security personnel saw the man’s disruptive actions of the event and he was escorted out.
S/o to @LukeBryanOnline for handling this jerk & finishing the song 💁🏼💁🏼💁🏼 pic.twitter.com/6p66CQqdGr

Word is the guy flipped him off; not sure if it’s fact but if so big deal..Did not EVER warrant Luke’s actions.
December 1, 2016 @ 9:16 am
Hell, at many of the shows I go to, flipping the bird is almost a requirement.
December 1, 2016 @ 9:26 am
Charlie Daniles fans and Luke Bryan fans are like oil and water. I appreciate the spirit in which the organizers booked this event and obviously it was for a good cause. But you have to understand who the fans are of these respective artists, and knowing putting them in the same building like this is going to cause friction.
December 1, 2016 @ 12:33 pm
Yeah! why was Luke Bryan even there? I didn’t know he even knew about Charlie Daniels?
I mean shame on the guys for picking on him, but what was to be expected when you take a famous non-musician to a place of sanctitude for real musicians?
It’s like letting him play the Opry, or Opryland, or, y’know, anywhere!
Of course real music fans are going to be pissed because they can’t get away from him
“If you don’t like it don’t listen”
THEN QUIT PLAYING IT ON EVERY STATION AT EVERY SUPERMARKET AND DON’T BRING IT TO PLACES LIKE THE VOLUNTEER JAM WHERE PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE VERY CONSPICUOUSLY “NOT LISTENING TO IT”
We can’t just “not listen to it” because it’s everywhere! it spreads like the plague and is almost as disgusting!
So of course we’re going to harass him until he goes away.
All I want is for Luke Bryan fans to not be at places where artists I like play, and when I go to concerts that Luke Bryan doesn’t show up and ruin them.
I wish there were more Puke Bryan fans trying to defend him around here, I’d love a good comment war.
December 1, 2016 @ 1:18 pm
I mean, you can dislike a guy and not act like a jerk. Harassing people is never ok. And even if you’re harassed, YOU CAN’T PUNCH THEM! Two wrongs don’t make a right, neither party looks good.
December 1, 2016 @ 1:33 pm
I started out trying to defend Jerk Bryan – however his big stupid mouth has stopped all defense. He’s just not all that and his music is barely country. On this subject – I don’t care if they guy flipped out his johnson and waved it at him – assault is assault and he is not above the law!
December 6, 2016 @ 2:33 pm
His music is barely country? It’s more country sounding than a large majority of what is played on country radio. I like Luke Bryan alot, but interacting with this man giving him the finger shows how immature he is, and he comes across as a real arrogant douchebag.
December 6, 2016 @ 2:41 pm
Summer Jam – I do agree with you to some extent. He’s not the worse – just my personal taste – I don’t like Country-rap (CRAP) or Hick Hop but I tried at one time to defend it – now I spend my time changing stations constantly to find a decent Country song. And you’re right – he’s an immature db.
December 3, 2016 @ 1:01 pm
You love a good comment war?huh? Just shows how immature you are. Regardless, Luke Bryan is awesome and a lot of people love his music because they can appreciate what it is. If you don’t like it, deal with it, because we don’t always get what we want.
December 5, 2016 @ 12:02 pm
I agree. I just think it’s unfortunate that so many people seem to appreciate misogynistic tripe.
December 5, 2016 @ 5:59 pm
Lucy2K16…Obviously you are an avid Luke fan; which is fine but dear we are far from immature. But please explain to me what his music is? And no matter how you spin it he was out of line giving the heckler what he wanted: A Reaction..Now how’s that for maturity?
December 1, 2016 @ 10:26 pm
Poor little whiney crybaby Americans! Luke Bryan probably was out of line slapping the jackass who was flipping him off but so what, it`s not like he broke his jaw or knocked him out! And as far as you pussies who were offended by Luke Bryan being at the Volunteer Jam, screw you! You don`t know jack about the History of the Jam. For 40 years Charlie Daniels has invited who ever he damn well pleases to the Volunteer Jam and not every artist who takes the stage is going to be everybody`s favorite! The variety of the show is what has always made it special! As far as that goes if you don`t like somebody to that degree why even buy a ticket! It was known for months that Luke Bryan was going to be there! If Charlie wants someone there that is good enough for me!
December 1, 2016 @ 5:07 pm
It was not as bad as everyone is making out it to be. I was there
December 1, 2016 @ 9:09 am
Looked almost playful
December 1, 2016 @ 9:30 am
Probably because he has feminine tendencies.
December 1, 2016 @ 9:57 am
just cracked up. Well played
December 1, 2016 @ 10:09 am
That tends to happens when you wear women’s jeans
December 1, 2016 @ 1:20 pm
I’m a woman, if I punched you, you’d know..and it’d probably be in the adam’s apple, because that’s more effective. It was weak, weak does not equal feminine.
December 1, 2016 @ 4:26 pm
Ol Killer was quite aroused by your reply seak05, quite aroused indeed..
December 1, 2016 @ 9:13 am
That man more than likely will have to seek therapy after being slapped by another man wearing skinny jeans. He’s lucky Luke didn’t try to pull his hair.
December 2, 2016 @ 5:23 am
Have an upvote
December 1, 2016 @ 9:14 am
He only fractured his hand and arm in five places!
December 1, 2016 @ 9:17 am
Good thing he can twerk better than he can fight.
December 1, 2016 @ 9:17 am
Wouldn’t consider that even a punch. Sort of a halfhearted jab. Not a big deal.
December 1, 2016 @ 9:32 am
If any individual puts their hands on me, and especially makes a move towards my face, even a “halfhearted jab,” and it’s not obviously in a playful manner by someone who is a close friend or family member of mine, to me it’s a huge deal. You don’t put your hands on another individual in that type of scenario. Ever. I’ll just assume the fan is a prick and said or gestured something. Fine, you get security to remove him.
December 1, 2016 @ 11:59 am
I wish more and more trolls would get KnockedTFO! There should be repercussion for being an ahole to others. Bullying in any way deserves a swift knockout punch.
December 1, 2016 @ 2:42 pm
Luke was in the rite mess with the bull n u get the horns
December 1, 2016 @ 7:16 pm
Lmao. Luke The Bull haha
December 5, 2016 @ 6:02 pm
crash Lil Dales playa: Neither party was in the “right” (spelling is fundamental)
December 1, 2016 @ 9:27 am
Little sissytap by the sissy, Luke Bryan…
December 1, 2016 @ 9:32 am
Too bad he ran off like a coward…. Bet the guy would love to have gotten a chance to punch back…
December 1, 2016 @ 9:36 am
Maybe the guy wore a Travis Tritt t-shirt and made him angry.
December 1, 2016 @ 10:14 am
Man say he hate Luke! Make Luke angry! Luke slap man! then Luke twerk on his crotch!
December 1, 2016 @ 9:44 am
My guess is he was gunna punch him but realized what he was doing so he gave him a little tap. If that’s his punch my 1 year old nephew could take him
December 1, 2016 @ 10:02 am
Did they make Miranda apologize for hitting the fan and then storming off stage that one time or not? She instigated it as well after she got mad that they grabbed the towel she was going to throw.
December 1, 2016 @ 10:04 am
“Luke Bryan’s ‘punch’ was pretty weak when looking at it at closer angles.”
I’ve heard his music, so this isn’t surprising at all.
December 1, 2016 @ 10:06 am
Bryan’s actions of initiating and physically making contact with the guy are bad enough, but he still had the microphone in his hand. It actually looks like he hit the guy with it. That alone might make this something he can’t just apologize away. If the guy decides to pursue it and gets a smart attorney, Luke Bryan may be the one who winds up with a headache – a costly one. https://www.nashvilletnlaw.com/blog/what_distinguishes_a_simple_as/
December 1, 2016 @ 10:07 am
That’s a punch? Thank you to Luke Bryan for confirming he’s truly the candy ass we always figured he was.
December 1, 2016 @ 10:08 am
That looked like more of a gentle caress to me. Doesn’t he usually have his fluffer / mop boy Coal Swindler handle that shit for him?
December 1, 2016 @ 10:25 am
In fairness, the guy blatantly flipped him off, more than once and didn’t stop when Luke looked right at him while singing. He even stood up to flip him off right in his face. When Luke said, “Come on,” the guy came at him. Had he not approached the stage, it’s not likely that Luke Bryan would have been the aggressor and left the stage to hit the d!ck. If it had been a Luke fan disrespecting Charlie Daniels and getting popped for it, you’d all probably think it was cool. http://www.whiskeyriff.com/2016/12/01/luke-bryan-slaps-a-guy-silly-for-flipping-him-off-at-charlie-daniels-volunteer-jam/
December 1, 2016 @ 10:47 am
In that moment, Luke Bryan had some 25,000 people staring at him. He was on stage with a microphone and a spotlight on him, commanding everyone’s undivided attention. He is in charge, and in that scenario, he has to be the bigger person. He has to understand that he has a responsibility. I’m not trying to make any apologies for the heckler, if that’s indeed what he was. But Luke Bryan egging him on by saying “Come On” does not help his case in my opinion, it means he was escalating the situation. He should have either ignored the dude, called security, he could have even stood back and laughed about it from the stage. But don’t initiate physical contact. Don’t go out into the crowd.
December 1, 2016 @ 10:56 am
Luke Bryan was actually invoking this behavior by challenging the fan. Luke knows better.
There was security their to remove the person and put a stop to it. Luke Bryan was wrong for making physical contact with person Even if this was a heckler in the crowd.
O.T. other stuff being reported about Luke’s behavior on the road….not good. Luke’s ego has taken over.
December 2, 2016 @ 8:06 am
The Harry Truman rule applies to Bromeister Bryan like it does anyone else who is in situations like this: “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen”.
December 1, 2016 @ 11:21 am
I see it as a case of two wrongs not making a right. Yeah, Luke should have kept it together ( not saying I would’ve, either), but this commonly accepted rude behavior by a small percentage of the fans is also wrong.
December 1, 2016 @ 3:58 pm
That’s why they have security. One word in the mic from Luke and the would be escorted out. Doesn’t pay to lose your cool when your the guy making millions on stage.
December 1, 2016 @ 3:55 pm
A “blatant flip-off” probably does’t qualify as a legal reason to protect oneself with a physical response.
December 4, 2016 @ 2:13 pm
You would be correct.
December 1, 2016 @ 10:29 am
90 days, lukey!
December 1, 2016 @ 10:36 am
I watched this video from two different clips. Luke Bryan had NO business putting his hands on anyone in this footage. He was NOT being physically threatened in ANY way,and no one around that fan was in any danger. The fan was making rude gestures to Luke, nothing more.
If Luke Bryan felt so angry about it all he had to do was motion for the security team to remove the guy. Luke Bryan was wrong for assaulting a concert goer.
Now, how much you want to bet that things in Luke Bryan’s world are not as “together” as
he portrays it to be? I have been saying this for awhile now..Luke is on a road downward.
December 1, 2016 @ 10:37 am
Luke should look up video of Sturgill handling jackasses in the crowd the proper way. Douche bag.
December 1, 2016 @ 10:51 am
In some ways its much adieu about nothing. The different videos and angles show there’s no real force behind the slap/hit/thing he did.
But, what on earth is Luke thinking?! The guy flipped him off a few times as Luke did his awkward hip shaking ‘dance’. How does Luke not just move on? Is this the first time he’s ever met a fan not loving every second of his performance? It’s odd he would give 2 nickels about this guy.
Not a good look by Luke – both the slap thing and his dance moves.
December 1, 2016 @ 11:00 am
Not really fair, guys aren’t suppose to hit back when being assaulted by somebody in women’s jeans.
December 1, 2016 @ 11:16 am
Just a heads up. The story has been updated with a new video, and the news that apparently there was another heckler holing up a sign to Luke saying, “We can see your camel toe.”
I expect another statement from the Luke Bryan camp shortly.
December 1, 2016 @ 12:15 pm
I love how their statement didn’t mention Luke’s actions at all, only the fan’s. A performer should never make contact with a fan unless it’s in self defense. There is absolutely no reason why he should have stepped down a level from the stage and engaged the fan, regardless of what gestures he made or what words he said.
December 3, 2016 @ 2:38 pm
I agree, the professional thing to do would have been to ignore it, or say something after the song if it was a problem. I’m sure security would have escorted them out, and Luke could have concentrated on the rest of his set.
I was at a concert a while back, and a fan was flipping Justin Moore the bird, and Justin started droping F-bombs until security took the guy out. Afer afew more songs, Justin stopped the concert for a minute and apologized to the fans, and said that he would be really upset if someone else had done what he did infront of his kids, and that meant a lot to me. I did not have a huge problem with the word, but I had a problem with the way and setting he used it in. Same with Luke here, is slapping a fan the type of action you want to be known for, and what you want your fans to think you do?
I saw another example on youtube just recently, a Rapper was in the middle of a song at a concert aimed towards teenagers. In the middle of a song he noticed that a guy was smoking weed surrounded by teens, the rapper stopped the song, and called the guy out, and security came and took him away. All he said was “Hey, why do you have to do that here, people came to enjoy a show and you are ruining it for them.” He didn’t resort to violonce, or make himself look bad, and the problem was removed. If a rapper can take care of problems in a civil manner, I would think a country singer should be more than able to do the same.
December 1, 2016 @ 11:18 am
If Mr. Bryan is emotionally unable to handle being flipped off, he may want to stay out of the public performing business. No matter how good you are, somebody isn’t going to like you and will express themselves in an insulting manner. It’s better to maintain your dignity and move on.
December 1, 2016 @ 12:34 pm
What dignity? He lost all that twerking in skinny jeans.
December 1, 2016 @ 11:47 am
I’ll whoop the dog shit outta you Luke
December 1, 2016 @ 12:18 pm
I’m not getting on here to argue about whether you like Luke’s music or not. I’m just letting everyone know that this is very uncharacteristic of Luke. I’ve been a fan of his for numerous years and he is normally a fun loving friendly guy. I see comments saying there is more going on and your right there is! Once again Luke and his family are facing a life and death situation. This time it involves his brother in law’s baby girl, Sadie Brett, she’s 4 1/2 months old and had to open heart surgery and she is fighting for her life at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. Luke addressed his fans yesterday on his APP thanking them for their prayers. So instead of canceling his appearance at Charile’s concert he played and while it wasn’t the best thing he’s ever done going after the fan that was taunting him maybe people can understand a little more why he lost his cool. Thanks!
December 2, 2016 @ 4:28 pm
I was just checking on here to say if any articles mentioned this. I’m friends with the mom of Sadie(so Luke’s wife’s brother’s wife. Lol, we’re practically related! Lol) and Luke almost did play that night(for free BTW) cause it’s a stressful time for him and his family, especially his kids who have dealt too much wth death.
Also, while I like Luke personally I don’t like his music very much(or really his new stuff, his old stuff is good) if you really think you can flip off and walked with to a country artist(or anyone really) without the risk of getting punched you’re an idiot. What Luke did wasn’t cool, but the heckler should of seen it coming.
December 2, 2016 @ 5:36 pm
Sorry, we all have tough times. I just went through a divorce, but I have not slapped anyone because it was a tough time.
February 21, 2017 @ 9:08 pm
yes, because a divorce is equivocal to your CHILD enduring open heart surgery, imbecile.
December 1, 2016 @ 12:32 pm
Security would have to taser me, I would beat his ass all over that stage. At Least we can see the tide turning. That was a bitch move, also someone run away and let security drag them out. Hope this guy gets some of that huntinfishin money.
December 1, 2016 @ 12:34 pm
I watched Jamey Johnson handle a situation like this at a concert at Ft. Eustis. The fan was being a much bigger douche, at a free show for the troops, in a waaaaay smaller crowd. Jamey told him to “Shut Up”, and then asked security to “get him the fuck outta here. Take him to my bus…I want to meet him.” Jamey is a badass in every sense of the word, and even more so for not punching a drunk prick begging for attention.
Luke is such a diva…he doesn’t deserve to sweep up Jamey’s old beard hair…
December 1, 2016 @ 12:42 pm
That was not a punch. Looked like a “scoop”, the same damn thing my teenage son keeps doing to everyone. Luke’s just trying to keep up with pop trends.
Very stupid move though. The heckler looked extremely wasted, too. Not worth the lawsuit, Luke.
December 1, 2016 @ 1:11 pm
Luke wouldn’t have lasted long in Bakersfield.
December 1, 2016 @ 1:28 pm
That was straight up a bitch move.
December 1, 2016 @ 1:47 pm
Well now I gotta buy tickets in hopes he attempts to punch me.
December 1, 2016 @ 1:54 pm
Not surprised. Many would rather be punched in the face than listen to that tone-challenged douchebag.
December 1, 2016 @ 3:29 pm
LOL – I was thinking the same thing – How the hell did this guy ever get this famous, he sucks!!!
December 1, 2016 @ 2:23 pm
“A man in [the] front row was making crude hand gestures toward Luke during his performance. It was insulting not only to him, but more importantly to the men, women and families sitting around him who were there to support and celebrate Charlie Daniels and the efforts of raising money for the military veterans – some of who were in the audience. The concert security personnel saw the man’s disruptive actions of the event and he was escorted out.”
Finally: we now have proof that the people working for Puke Bryan have a grasp of the English language that is almost as poor as his own grasp.
Learn proper syntax before you try and defend an idiot misogynist who promotes drunk driving.
December 1, 2016 @ 2:45 pm
Cowardly and disappointing reply from the Luke’s camp to not address what LUKE actually did.
I don’t love what the guy in the crowd did with the taunting, flipping off, etc. Its not how I’d hope most people would behave in public or in private. But Luke just can’t do what he did and get off with out critique, or without apology.
December 1, 2016 @ 3:22 pm
Yes he can… that guy is a disrespectful clown, did you see his wife/girlfriend sitting beside him like….uuughhh not again… she clearly knows whats about to go down she even makes an attempt to get him to sit down.
December 1, 2016 @ 3:33 pm
It goes perfectly with Bryan’s cowardly action. If you’re going to instigate physical contact, don’t run away right after you do it. It’s not like he knocked the guy out with his little slap/push or whatever it was.
December 1, 2016 @ 3:28 pm
I can’t believe he stayed on the stage after swinging that hard. It’s taken less to make him fall.
December 1, 2016 @ 6:30 pm
maybe out of respect for Charlie he actually stayed sober for the show
December 1, 2016 @ 3:49 pm
That statement is as bad as the initial McGraw statement about torn jeans. They think it’s bad that the guy was making crude hand gestures in front of the “men, women, and families” around him, but seeing the artist on stage respond with physical violence was okay? Terrible PR response.
December 1, 2016 @ 4:03 pm
No real thoughts on the whole ordeal itself…but after seeing Luke Bryan hit that guy, I would love for him to be locked in a cage with the ghost of Waylon for about 2.5
December 1, 2016 @ 7:42 pm
Lol, I’ll admit that is a funny mental image there and he’ll probably win too in no time flat. Also the ghost of Waylon is one ghost I wouldn’t mind haunting my house lol
December 1, 2016 @ 4:17 pm
Wahhhh! Don’t like the music? Go have a beer in the concourse. That’s what I do if I don’t want to hear a warm up act. I know sh-t about Luke Bryan, but seriously, you got front row tix, don’t be a douche.
I hope he sues, wins and the judge awards him $.01.
December 1, 2016 @ 4:42 pm
So, according to some of the pro-Luke posts, he was in the right because he was being heckled? Cilla is right. You have a microphone. Everyone can hear you. Call for security to remove the fan(s) and proceed from there. Fans are smart enough, when they see an unruly fan or fans being removed, to be careful or they’re next. I’d say, “‘Grow a pair, Luke!” but his skinny jeans would allow that.
December 1, 2016 @ 6:26 pm
pfft.. Luke Bryan is just a whack ass, sack of shit sellout “artist” like most other mainstream “artists” only looking to be rich and famous, not caring who likes them and who doesn’t…
December 1, 2016 @ 6:33 pm
Question: If you could knock out one mainstream country dork with one punch, who would it be?
A. Luke Bryan
B. Sam Hunt
C. Thomas Rhett.
D. No one. If I knocked out one Flolrida Georgia Line guy, the other would still be standing.
December 1, 2016 @ 7:22 pm
I can tell you exactly why Luke reacted the way he did here. Luke had a few too many beers n shots lmao, trust me.
December 2, 2016 @ 10:21 am
Maybe some LSD….
Get out of here you scary purple dragon! *slap*
December 1, 2016 @ 10:32 pm
What a manly slap.
December 2, 2016 @ 8:37 am
Not the biggest Luke Bryan fan but honestly I thought it was very childish of those guys to pick on him while he was performing. Not saying that Luke Bryan was in the right either but if you don’t care for someone then fine but that doesn’t give you the right be a jerk. When I am at a concert with different bands I use that time while maybe a particular person or band that I am not really a fan of is on stage to grab a beer/drink, take a smoke break, chat with someone or whatever I am not going to throw hate at someone even if I think they suck. Security should have done a better job in my opinion.
December 2, 2016 @ 10:56 am
More dudes need to get punched when they act like fools. What he did wasn’t even bad. People calling assault are ridiculous. Get some thicker skin. This is how men keep eachother in line. You’re a jerk you get clocked; that’s the social order. I have a feeling if this was a ‘cool’ artist doing the punching, it would be cool and outlaw. I don’t have a problem with it either way. Not the best response but could not literally care less.
December 2, 2016 @ 2:17 pm
Assault is assault in the eyes of the law unfortunately. I think it is ridiculous to call it assault…it was like he patted him with his kitten paw. I could have actually gained an ounce of respect for Mr. Cameltoe if he tried to punch him like a man…
As a side note, maybe Trigger should keep his normal rating system for good albums, and rate the bro-country shit as “Luke Bryan Kitten Paws.” That new Jason Aldean album gets 4 Luke Kitten Paws!
December 2, 2016 @ 10:44 pm
If this was in a parking lot somewhere with no one watching, I’d say okay. On stage with thousands watching and recording, it seems like an attention grab for Luke. Might be a costly one, though.
December 2, 2016 @ 11:17 pm
This is no where near even a punch. This reminds me of what my older brother would do to me when I was annoying him. Blown way out of proportion.
December 3, 2016 @ 6:14 pm
Both the fan and Luke are in the wrong but Luke should not lay a hand on a fan and the fan should not use obscene gesture because there might be small children in presence.
December 5, 2016 @ 12:33 pm
As a dad I have to say that I’m much more concerned about having my daughter hear the lyrics of Luke Bryan’s songs than hear some drunk dropping a few profanities.
December 5, 2016 @ 12:35 pm
As a dad I’m more concerned about my daughter being exposed to Luke Bryan’s lyrics than some dude flipping the bird.
December 4, 2016 @ 4:57 am
No has mentioned that Luke Bryan singing kept going on while was committing assault. He is lip syncing. I find that more disturbing then his childish actions. These guys can’t sing without help- pathetic.
December 4, 2016 @ 9:23 am
Actually I’ve seen tons of folks mention it, but I’m just not sure it is true. If I felt with any confidence that Luke Bryan was not singing at all and heard his vocal track clearly continue even when the microphone was not up to his mouth, I would be the first to point and laugh at him for it. But that’s not what I’m seeing or hearing. I’m hearing his vocals stop when the altercation occurs. I’m hearing him say “Come On!” into a live mic right before the incident. I am hearing some BACKING vocals continue through the altercation. Perhaps they’re from members of the band, or perhaps they’re from a backing track, it’s hard to tell. But I’m not hearing Luke’s track continue.

It doesn’t look like a punch to me. I’m pretty sure Luke was giving the guy his room key.

I was at the concert and it was not lip sync. No lip sync would sound that bad. Luke Bryan is a big country star and the 10 screaming girls in front of me would not have bought their tickets or supported a good cause without his participation. So good for Luke Bryan. That said, every other artist on that stage out-classed Mr. Bryan in talent and behaviour that night. And that was a line-up that included Kid Rock!
Engaging in physical violence because someone was saying or doing “mean” things was the disrespectful act of an insecure man.

Am I the only one who would of sued his ass? Any law wise folks out there who can tell me if I could even win a lawsuit if I was the one who got slapped?
