Chris Young recently addressed his fans for the first time since his arrest and subsequent dropped charges for assault. He mentioned that he is still trying to come to terms with the events of the past week.
The singer of "Young Love & Saturday Nights" expressed gratitude on social media to friends and fans who supported him after he was in jail on the night of Jan. 22.
Update: Chris Young has been acquitted of all charges following his arrest at a bar in Nashville.
Young expressed gratitude for the support he received from friends and fans who reached out to him and reassured him that they believed in him and did not think he was guilty of the accusations.
"I'm glad to see the charges being dropped. No one should have to experience something like that. The positive aspect was the overwhelming love and support I received."
The event occurred at a bar called the Dawg House in the city center of Nashville.
The security camera footage captures Young acting composed before he tries to get the attention of a Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission agent by reaching out his arm. The agent then shoves Young, causing him to stagger back into the bar and ultimately fall down.
Young mentioned that he is still dealing with the aftermath of false accusations and events from the previous week in the video. He also mentioned that the support from his fans motivated him to release a new song from his upcoming album ahead of schedule.
The release of "Double Down" is scheduled for Friday, February 2nd, at midnight.
Young encourages you to turn up the volume and enjoy the music. He expresses his gratitude, love, and appreciation for you.
