Adcock is no doubt one of country music's most unpredictable rising acts, with his rowdy anthems like 'Actin' Up Again' and 'Past Actions' to his heartfelt singles like 'Sober' and 'My Dear My Darlin.'
During his shows in Nashville, the hitmaker reportedly appeared on the stage with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand, according to Music Row, which also noted that cups of beer were flying through the air by excited fans.
Adcock even brought out country star Tracy Lawrence as a surprise guest, and the two sang a duet of 'Time Marches On,' which allegedly sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Authorities investigate whether Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra died of 'designer drug' overdose
Long Island prosecutors are trying to determine if 'designer drugs' played a role in the mysterious Montauk Yacht Club death of fashion designer Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said during an interview with The Post. Investigators have not determined what killed the 33-year-old Irish woman, who was found unresponsive on a boat at the upscale club on Aug. 5, and are awaiting more autopsy results to conclude the probe, Tierney said Tuesday. 'Specifically, we're talking about primarily, the toxicology — the official final toxicology report,' he said. 'In our society right now, the way we've evolved with these designer drugs, all these substances that are created in a lab, you want to be extra careful that whatever testing you've done is comprehensive and complete before you make any findings in the case. Advertisement Authorities believe NYC designer Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra's death may be tied to an accidental designer drug overdose. Instagram/@marthanolan 'Oftentimes it's not just one substance,' he added. Nolan-O'Slatarra, who migrated from Ireland in 2018, co-owned swimwear company East x East and summered in the Hamptons, where she was featured in pop-up fashion shows.

Advertisement There have been no arrests in the case, nor have prosecutors suggested foul play. A funeral for the designer is scheduled for Wednesday in her hometown of Carlow, a small Irish village about 50 miles from Dublin.

Chris Martin defends keeping Coldplay kiss cam in shows after Astronomer CEO ‘debacle'
Chris Martin isn't changing a thing. During a 'Music of the Spheres World Tour' stop at Craven Park in Kingston upon Hull, England, on Monday, the Coldplay frontman joked about last month's Jumbotron 'debacle' that outed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR exec Kristin Cabot. 'We are so happy to be here,' Martin, 48, began during the Aug. 18 concert, per NME. 'Many of you have written signs. So, I'll take some time to try and read some signs.
