Luke Bryan was performing a show on his Country Song Came On Tour in North Dakota when someone in the crowd chucked a ball at him and hit him right in the face.
He tells Taste of Country Nights if he would have seen who threw it, he would have jumped right down and handled it.
Talking about the incident and his thoughts immediately afterward, Bryan explains that it happened during his performance of “Country Girl (Shake It for Me).”
“It’s the last song of the night. It was a big ole fun party, and I think one person just took it too far,” he says, sounding forgiving.
Bryan also detailed the entertainer’s point of view, revealing: “We see it. Every other entertainer out there is getting stuff — you get stuff thrown at ya.”
“You hope that you can see who did it,” he adds.
But just because this person got away with throwing a ball onstage doesn’t mean others should follow in their footsteps. In fact, Bryan makes it clear that he didn’t want to let it slide.
“I mean, if I saw him throw it, I could have gone right to him,” he says. “I probably would have jumped right off in there.”
He’s a man of reason, however, and knows his concerts draw fans of all ages. Plus, he likes his shows to be fun.
“If I jump off in there … there were a lot of little kids down there. At that point, if I’d even stopped it and pointed somebody out, it kills the vibe of the show.”
The “One Margarita” singer just wants people to know that when they throw something at an entertainer, they are being selfish and are chancing ruining the whole show for the other thousands of fans that are in attendance.
