Young expressed in the video how much it meant to him to have friends and fans show their support and disbelief in the allegations against him.
"It's a relief to see the charges being dropped. I wouldn't want anyone to have to experience that. The positive aspect was the overwhelming love and support that was shown."
The event occurred at the Dawg House located in the heart of Nashville's downtown area.
In the security camera footage, Young appears calm before he tries to get the attention of a Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission agent by reaching out his arm. The agent then pushes Young, causing him to stumble backwards into the bar and ultimately fall down.
"I am still trying to come to terms with the false accusations and events that happened in the past week," Young shares at the beginning of the video. Towards the end, he mentions that the support 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 this Friday, February 2nd, at midnight.
Young encourages everyone to turn up the volume and enjoy the music. He expresses his gratitude and love towards the audience, thanking them for their support.
