Chris Young has addressed his fans for the first time since his arrest and subsequent dropping of charges. He mentioned that he is still trying to come to terms with the past week, which involved him being arrested on assault charges.
The singer of "Young Love & Saturday Nights" went on social media to express gratitude to friends and fans who supported him after he was arrested on the night of Jan. 22.
In a recent development, Chris Young has been acquitted of all charges following his arrest at a bar
Young expresses in the video how much it meant to him to have friends and fans support him and believe in his innocence.
"It is a relief to see the charges being dropped. I wouldn't want anyone to have to experience something like that. However, the positive aspect was witnessing the outpouring of love and support."
