Chase Rice has responded to his controversial concert without social distancing, announces drive-in show
Nearly 48 hours following his controversial performance at Petros' historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary outside of Nashville,has responded to social media complaints about the lack of social distancing and mask wearing at the show that drew around 1,000 people.
"Moving forward, I have a show in Ashland, Kentucky on Friday, and it’s a drive-in show," he continued."You can take your trucks, take your cars. You have your own space, you can get out of your cars, you can get out of your trucks and party with me. Please do, sing the songs but stay in your own space, stay with the people you came with. And the biggest thing for all of us is the safer we are now, the quicker we get to actual normal live shows, which I know we all want.
In March, Rice uploaded a song called “Dear Corona,” a semi-lighthearted look at how country music fans were stronger than the virus, including the lyrics,"Dear corona, you don't know the heart of a country fan. You don't know that we don't give a damn.”
