“A lot of people…had a big problem with how the show looked,” says Rice, who was criticized for posting a video that showed fans crowded together near the stage
Moving forward, Rice said that the focus will be on fan safety. “You guys are everything to me, so your safety is a huge, huge priority,” he said, adding that his next concert, a July 3rd date in Ashland, Kentucky, will be staged in a drive-in format. “The safer we are now, the quicker we get to get to actual normal live shows, which I know we all want. Please go by the rules, please go by the laws.
Brian May, the VP of the Brushy Mountain Group, which oversees the venue at which Rice performed on Saturday, released a statement over the weekend that spelled out their intended safety efforts: “All local requirements were abided by for the recent concert, and numerous precautions were taken.
