Morgan Wallen worries 4-year-old son will 'think less' of him for Nashville arrest, struggle with alcohol
Morgan Wallen is addressing his chair-throwing incident in a new song dedicated to his 4-year-old son. In the lyrics, the country star reflected on the night he was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee, after he threw a chair off a rooftop bar in April 2024. Wallen, 31, took to Instagram to share his latest music project, a song titled "Superman," that he dedicated to his son, Indigo Wilder. "One day you're gonna see my mugshot/From a night when I got a little too drunk," he sang in a sample of his new track. "Hear a song about a girl I lost/From the times that I just wouldn't grow up/And when you ain't a kid no more/I hope you don't think less of me/I try to hide my falling short/But you're gonna see." Wallen continued to address his struggles with alcohol as he compared "that bottle" in his lyrics to Superman's kryptonite, which "Brings a man of steel down to his knees." "Don't always know my wrongs from right/Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy," his song continued. "No, I don't always save the day/But you know for you, I'll always try/I do the best I can/But Superman [is] still just a man sometimes." In the caption of his social media post, Wallen wrote, "Been trying for a long time to write a song I loved to my son." "None of them ever feel good enough because of how perfect I want something like this to be. And not saying this is perfect, but I am very proud of it. Here is a clip, It's called 'Superman,'" Wallen wrote on Instagram. Wallen shares his son Indigo with his ex-fiancée KT Smith. The couple welcomed him in July 2020. The "Love Somebody" singer's latest track comes after he pleaded guilty last year. The country star tossed a chair off the sixth floor of the Eric Church-backed bar Chief's in Nashville on April 7. Wallen was charged with two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment last year, according to Fox 17. Judge Cynthia Chappell sentenced the country music star to seven days at a DUI education center along with two years of supervised probation. His charges were reduced from felonies to misdemeanors during a hearing in December. Wallen's lawyer, Worrick Robinson, shared a statement with Fox News Digital at the time: "The plea agreement with the Office of the District Attorney requires Mr. Wallen to spend 7 days at a DUI Education Center, be on probation for 2 years – one year for each of the misdemeanor charges for reckless endangerment – pay a $350 fine and court fees. Upon the successful completion of his probation, the charges will be eligible for dismissal and expungement." At the time, Wallen was performing for his "One Night at a Time" tour. Earlier this year, the country singer announced his "I'm the Problem" tour. The singer-songwriter jumped back into touring with a 19-show stadium tour to support his fourth studio album with the same title. Wallen will have a rotating lineup of guests for the tour, including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel.

Morgan Wallen fans left disappointed over country star's 'I'm the Problem' tour
Country fans were upset Morgan Wallen seemingly missed a few stops on his upcoming tour to support his fourth studio album. Wallen, 31, revealed he'll hit the road this summer on the "I'm the Problem" tour, but devoted followers were disappointed the "Last Night" singer only had a handful of dates slated around the country, as opposed to his last two-year "One Night At a Time" tour. Set to launch in Houston, Texas, in June, Wallen will have a rotating lineup of guests for the tour, including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel. "Where is the east coast and the south on here?? VA, SC, GA, TN," one fan wrote after Wallen shared his new tour announcement. Another fan wondered the same, and wrote, "Where's the east coast!? The south!?!? Morgan you got some splainin to do!" "What is this tour schedule," another user questioned on Instagram. "Closest I've is a 9hr drive from ga. You better be adding more in the south." One fan wrote, "Only Wisconsin for the Midwest??? Shame. Minnesota sold out both your dates on the last tour." "NY dates!? Please tell me you're adding more dates," one Wallen fan wrote, while others worried about the price tag to attend a show. "Lower the price big dawg $600 is crazy," one fan wrote. Despite the complaints about locations, the "Whiskey Glasses" singer had thousands of people praising his name and waiting for the day they could see Wallen in concert. "Let this man throw as many chairs as he wants," one fan joked, alluding to Wallen's 2024 chair-throwing incident when he was arrested outside of Eric Church's Nashville bar. The "Chasing You" singer was "cooperating fully" with the investigation, a rep for the musician told Fox News Digital at the time. He was originally charged with disorderly conduct — a misdemeanor — and three counts of felony reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon. Wallen, who was charged with two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment, pleaded guilty, according to Fox 17. Judge Cynthia Chappell sentenced the country music star to seven days at a DUI education center, along with two years of supervised probation. Another Canadian fan begged, "Americans stay out of Toronto. This is our time. You have your own dates." "Stop the whiney nonsense," one fan wrote. "True fans travel!!! I'm excited to go just 5 hours over my 12 hour trip last year!" Wallen named his fourth studio album, "I'm the Problem," and the title track is set to be released Jan. 31. In the 10 years since he released his debut EP and became a professional singer-songwriter, Wallen has broken records left and right and earned acclaim among his peers in the country music community. "We made so many lifelong memories on the 'One Night at a Time World Tour,' and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for my fans and the way they showed up each night," Wallen said in a statement. "As I've been working on new music, it has inspired me to get back on the road and share these new songs with each of you on the 'I'm the Problem Tour.' See y'all there." Fox News Digital has reached out to a rep for Wallen for comment.
