Behind the scenes, Wallen said he had been speaking with those involved and those he personally wronged. For instance, he reached out to Nashville police as well as the people at Eric Church's bar Chief's. He said that he is ashamed of his actions and wants to make amends.
On social media, Wallen wrote, "I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I've touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief's. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility. I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change. -MW"
Police arrested Wallen after he allegedly threw a chair from the rooftop of the bar. At first, there was some confusion if it was the singer that authorities arrested, but Wallen's lawyer confirmed that authorities arrested his client. The statement read, "At 10:53p Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He is cooperating fully with authorities."
