Young expressed how much it meant to him to have friends and fans show their support and belief in him by saying "we got you, we don’t believe you did any of this," in the video.
"I'm glad to see the charges being dropped. Nobody should have to experience something like this. The positive aspect was the overwhelming love and support I received."
The event occurred at the Dawg House located in the heart of Nashville's downtown area.
The security camera footage captures Young appearing composed before he tries to grab the attention of a Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission agent by gesturing with his arm. The agent then pushes Young, causing him to stagger back into the bar and fall down.
"I am still trying to understand and deal with the false accusations and events that occurred in the past week," Young mentions at the beginning of the video. Towards the end, he shares that the encouragement and backing from his fans motivated him to release a new song from his upcoming album earlier than planned.
The new album "Double Down" will be released at midnight on Friday, February 2nd.
"Turn up the volume and have a good time. I am grateful for you, I care about you, and I want to say thank you," Young expresses.
