Having spent over two decades in country music and helmed several tours, Luke Bryan knows what it takes to put on a concert. And for most fans, they were thrilled to see the singer cover a few of his hit songs that included “That’s My Kind of Night” and “Country Girl.” But even with thousands of people packing an arena to see Bryan, there were always a few bad apples. Recently, Bryan found himself on the receiving end of an object when one fan decided to throw it right at the country star’s face.

Sadly, numerous singers have paused their concerts to address fans throwing objects at them. It usually consisted of clothing, gifts, or the occasional phone. Asking fans to respect their space, some didn’t seem to care. On July 26th, Bryan was performing in North Dakota when an object flew through the air, striking the singer. Thankfully, it didn’t seem to harm the singer as he continued to perform.
Although stumbling after being hit, Bryan, a true professional, didn’t skip a beat when singing “Country Girl.”
Luke Bryan Fans Want Person Named And Banned
While the person who tossed the object remained unknown, fans quickly filled the comment section with, “Someone knows who did it. Blast their name.” Another person added, “Throwing something at the person singing. Wow, how low can one go?”
The comments continued to stack up, with many wanting the person to be held accountable. “If they found out who it was, they should be banned for life from the state fair/property.”
As for Bryan, he refused to give the incident any life. Back in January, the country singer explained how he only wanted to have fun with his career. “You know, you’ve heard the stories of becoming an old curmudgeon as you get older, I don’t wanna be that. I wanna have fun and have fun with this career and look back and say, ‘Damn, that was fun!’”
Appearing to follow his own advice, Bryan finished the concert, giving those in attendance a performance they wouldn’t soon forget. And for those looking to follow Bryan’s outlook on his life and career, he suggested, “Don’t be bitter about any of the ups and downs and just make sure I wake up everyday and try to become a little bit better singer and songwriter … and spend a little more time with the family.”
