Luke Bryan punches heckler during concert
Country star Luke Bryan does not mess around.
The singer punched a fan in the face on Wednesday after the concertgoer flipped his middle finger at Bryan.
The country musician was in the middle of performing “Move” at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville when he stepped into the audience to very casually hit the man with a right hook, microphone in hand, before getting back on stage to finish the song. Right after the incident, security confronted the heckler and took him out of the venue.
Bryan’s representative explained to ET in a statement, “A man in [the] front row was making crude hand gestures toward Luke during his performance. It was insulting not only to him, but more importantly to the men, women and families sitting around him who were there to support and celebrate Charlie Daniels and the efforts of raising money for the military veterans – some of who were in the audience. The concert security personnel saw the man’s disruptive actions of the event and he was escorted out.”
ET reported that Bryan fractured his clavicle in October, but it looks like he’s doing just fine.
