Morgan Wallen heading on first tour since racial slur incident
Morgan Wallen is heading on an eight-month tour.
The country singer will start his "Dangerous" tour in Evansville, Indiana, in March and end in at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in September.
The concers will makr the first major tour for Wallen since a video surfaced earlier this year in which neighbors filmed Wallen using the N-word with a group of his friends outside of his Nashville home.
The backlash was immediate and included his label suspending his recording contract indefinitely, radio pulling his music and his disqualification from some music awards shows.
Wallen apologized for the incident after it happened.
"I'm embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back," Wallen said in a statement at the time. "There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better."
He did have some supporters.
Sales of his music reportedly skyrocketed and his "Dangerous: The Double Album" topped the Billboard 200 chart.
摩根沃伦自种族诽谤事件以来首次巡回演出
Morgan Wallen 即将开始为期八个月的巡演。
这位乡村歌手将于 3 月在印第安纳州埃文斯维尔开始他的“危险”巡演,并于 9 月在洛杉矶的斯台普斯中心结束。
自今年早些时候出现一段视频以来,这些音乐会将成为瓦伦的第一次大型巡演,视频中邻居们在纳什维尔的家外使用 N 字与他的一群朋友拍摄了瓦伦。
立即遭到强烈反对,包括他的唱片公司无限期暂停他的唱片合同、电台取消他的音乐以及他取消一些音乐颁奖典礼的资格。
瓦伦在事件发生后为此事道歉。
“我很尴尬也很抱歉。我使用了不可接受和不恰当的种族诽谤,我希望我能收回,”沃伦当时在一份声明中说。 “永远没有理由使用这种语言。我想为使用这个词真诚地道歉。我保证会做得更好。”
他确实有一些支持者。
据报道,他的音乐销量猛增,他的“危险:双重专辑”在公告牌 200 排行榜上名列前茅。
