Morgan Wallen Denver

Morgan Wallen, known for his chart-topping country hits and a string of controversial incidents, found himself in another onstage altercation during a recent concert in Denver. The singer was performing his popular song “Cowgirls” at Mile High Stadium when an unexpected interruption occurred: a fan hurled their cell phone at him, striking him on the shoulder.

Wallen’s response, captured in viral videos, was swift and perhaps unexpected—he picked up the phone and threw it offstage, visibly frustrated by the disruption. This incident came just a week after Wallen was hit in the face by a fan’s thong during a performance in Minneapolis. The increasing frequency of objects being thrown at performers has become a worrying trend, with other artists like Bebe Rexha and Harry Styles facing similar issues.

Morgan Wallen Charges

Adding a layer of irony to Wallen’s reaction is his own legal trouble. He is currently facing charges for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct after throwing a chair off a six-story building in Nashville, nearly hitting two police officers. His court hearing is scheduled for August 15.

Despite these challenges, Wallen’s career remains strong. His duet with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help,” has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, making it the longest-running No. 1 hit of 2024. Wallen is next set to headline the BST Hyde Park festival in London and will celebrate his son Indie’s fourth birthday on July 10 with his ex-fiancée KT Smith.
