Young expressed how much it meant to them to have friends and fans support them and express disbelief in the allegations.
It is a relief to see the charges being dropped. No one should have to experience going through something like this. However, the positive aspect was the overwhelming love and support that was shown.
The situation occurred at a bar called the Dawg House located in the downtown area of Nashville.
Footage from a security camera captured Young behaving calmly before he tries to grab the attention of a Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission agent by reaching out his arm. The agent responds by pushing Young, causing him to trip backwards into the bar and fall down.
"I'm still trying to understand and deal with the false accusations and events that occurred last week," Young mentions at the beginning of the video. Towards the end, he shares that the encouragement and support from his fans motivated him to release a new song from his upcoming album ahead of schedule.
"Double Down" will be released on Friday, February 2nd, at midnight.
"Turn up the volume and have a good time. I am grateful for you, I care about you, and thank you," Young expresses.
