Morgan Wallen has done a ton of great work through his Morgan Wallen Foundation, recently donating over a million dollars to his hometown high school for renovations on their baseball field, in addition to many other chartable efforts to schools and other organizations all over the country. And it sounds like he’s just as generous in his personal life, too. Last year, a young boy from Michigan named Jameson was diagnosed with midline high grade glioma and high-grade glioma in his brain and spine. He also has Osteosarcoma, which is cancer in the bone in his arm near his right elbow. The family was tragically told that Jameson may only have weeks to live. During his battle with cancer, Jameson listened to Morgan Wallen often, and the music got him through some tough days. And last summer, Morgan invited Jameson, and his parents, Amanda and Josh, to attend Morgan’s show at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, where they were given the VIP treatment and of course got to meet and hang out with Morgan before the show. Amanda says that Morgan was incredible kind and humble, and even prayed with Jameson and his family before the show. Morgan and his team gave him and his entire family a night to remember, even sending them home in a limo, in addition to making sure they had everything they needed throughout the entire show. Jameson very sadly passed away just a couple months later in August of 2025, and his family continues to carry on his legacy through the Jameson Strong Nonprofit. While I can’t even imagine how horrific this time has been for Jameson’s parents, Amanda recently shared that Morgan quietly paid for Jameson’s funeral expenses, which we all know are incredible expensive and can be a heavy burden on a family already who more than likely has significant medical bills and is grieving the loss of their young son. It’s unimaginable to think of losing a child this way, and I think it says a lot about Morgan that he gave back to this family in a way that surely meant a lot to them. Amanda says there “are no words for how amazing that is”: “Going to see your favorite artist Morgan Wallen this summer and even though you’re in Heaven I know you have the best seat in the house and just know we are taking you with us. I’m very blessed and thankful that you were able to meet him and go to his concert. I will forever be a Morgan Wallen fan! The fact that he quietly paid for your funeral there just are no words to how amazing that is. You listened to his music to get through fighting cancer and now Mama listens to it to get through each day without you.” The family will be attending his Ann Arbor show this coming July. Morgan often gets a bad rap in the media, and I think it’s very unfair a lot of the time… these kinds of stories go to show who the real man behind the microphone is: @lostwildflowers Going to see your favorite artist Morgan Wallen this summer and even though you’re in Heaven I know you have the best seat in the house and just know we are taking you with us. I’m very blessed and thankful that you were able to meet him and go to his concert. I will forever be a Morgan Wallen fan! The fact that he quietly paid for your funeral there just are no words to how amazing that is. You listened to his music to get through fighting cancer and now Mama listens to it to get through each day without you. #grievingmother #morganwallen #stilltheproblemtourmichigan #morganwallenconcert @Jameson Strong Nonprofit #@Firefeller @morganwallen ♬ Don’t We – Morgan Wallen You can see some more photos of Morgan and sweet Jameson here: View this post on Instagram Morgan just kicked off his massive Still The Problem stadium a few weeks ago, and it will roll into Indianapolis, Indiana to play at Lucas Oil Stadium tomorrow. ‘Still The Problem’ Tour Dates May 1 || Las Vegas, Nev. || Allegiant Stadium w/ Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock, Vincent Mason May 2 || Las Vegas, Nev. || Allegiant Stadium w/ Thomas Rhett, Gavin Adcock, Vincent Mason May 8 || Indianapolis, Ind. || Lucas Oil Stadium w/ Brooks & Dunn, Hudson Westbrook, Zach John King May 9 || Indianapolis, Ind. || Lucas Oil Stadium w/ Ella Langley, Flatland Cavalry, Zach John King May 15 || Gainesville, Fla. || Ben Hill Griffin Stadium w/ Thomas Rhett, Gavin Adcock, Zach John King May 16 || Gainesville, Fla. || Ben Hill Griffin Stadium w/ Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Zach John King May 29 || Denver, Colo. || Empower Field at Mile High w/ Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock, Vincent Mason May 30 || Denver, Colo. || Empower Field at Mile High w/ Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Vincent Mason June 5 || Pittsburgh, Penn. || Acrisure Stadium w/ Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock, Zach John King June 6 || Pittsburgh, Penn. || Acrisure Stadium w/ Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Zach John King June 19 || Chicago, Ill. || Soldier Field w/ Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock, Zach John King June 20 || Chicago, Ill. || Soldier Field w/ Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Zach John King June 26 || Clemson, SC. || Clemson Memorial Stadium w/ Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock, Jason Scott & The High Heat June 27 || Clemson, SC. || Clemson Memorial Stadium w/ Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Jason Scott & The High Heat July 17 || Baltimore, Md. || M&T Bank Stadium w/ Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock, Jason Scott & The High Heat July 18 || Baltimore, Md. || M&T Bank Stadium w/ Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Jason Scott & The High Heat July 24 || Ann Arbor, Mich. || Michigan Stadium w/ Thomas Rhett, Hudson Westbrook, Blake Whiten July 25 || Ann Arbor, Mich. || Michigan Stadium w/ HARDY, Hudson Westbrook, Blake Whiten July 31 || Philadelphia, Penn. || Lincoln Financial Field w/ ​​Brooks & Dunn, Hudson Westbrook, Blake Whiten August 1 || Philadelphia, Penn. || Lincoln Financial Field w/ Ella Langley, Hudson Westbrook, Blake WhitenThe post Morgan Wallen Covered All Funeral Expenses for Young Fan Lost to Cancer first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Guess that’s the downside of streaming, eh? Last week, Charley Crockett surprise released an album titled Clovis, and it came just three weeks after the conclusion of his Sagebrush Trilogy – Age of the Ram. Now, it appears that the surprise release is no longer available, and the reason for its removal from streaming is currently unknown. It was May 6 when Clovis started to go dark on streaming services, which means the 14-track album was only available to fans for around a week. Hopefully other Charley Crockett fans were like me and listened to it over and over again while it was still up on Apple Music and Spotify. As of this morning, there’s no option to buy it through iTunes, and the album is not listed under the “Music” tab of Crockett’s website (it’s unclear if it ever was). All in all, it’s a real shame that country music fans can’t listen to the surprise project. The album that served as a masterpiece and a statement sticking it to his former label home at Island Records featured a number of originals co-written by Charley and his frequent collaborator, Shooter Jennings. It also included Johnny Cash cover, “Don’t Take Your Guns to Town,” and boasted a handful of other co-writers. I’m sure we’ll hear from Charley Crockett at some point regarding the matter, but for now, all we’ve got is this post from May 6. The country music artist shared the album cover art to Clovis, and paired it with a simple, two-word caption: “My way.” View this post on Instagram Clearly there is some bad blood between Crockett and the record label he worked with to release his Sagebrush Trilogy – Lonesome Drifter, A Dollar A Day, and Age of the Ram. Shortly after the surprise release of Clovis, the “$10 Cowboy” singer took to social media to share a video explaining why he decided to push out the album just weeks removed from releasing Age of the Ram: “I paid for it. I think I spent about $300,000 on it. And I cut it at Clovis, New Mexico at the old Norman Petty studio where Buddy Holly started out, and Waylon Jennings had his first recording… just released the full record. Completely independent of the label system I’ve been tied up in for 10 years. Every time I find I signed a deal I don’t like, and I go to these f***ing business people, and I tell them, ‘I don’t like the deal, I don’t think it’s fair.’ They say, ‘Tough luck kid, shouldn’t have f***ing signed it.’ As soon as I hold them to that same standard, I’m the f***ing bad guy.” pic.twitter.com/4LaVnMBtv3 — Charley Crockett (@CharleyCrockett) May 1, 2026 And now I’m starting to think that the deal Charley signed may have complicated the release of Clovis. Most likely there is some kind of language in the contract that would prevent Charley from releasing new music within a certain timeframe after his final release with Island. If that is the case, it’s probably not all that long, and it’s also unclear if Charley was even aware of it, but that would make sense as to why the surprise drop was available… until it wasn’t. Here’s to hoping Charley Crockett figures out whatever situation he’s in and get’s Clovis back into the hands of the fans. If you ask me, it’s quite possibly the most important and impressive album of his entire career.The post Charley Crockett’s Latest Album ‘Clovis’ Unexpectedly Vanishes From Streaming Platforms first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Another record breaking Saturday night. Luke Combs was in Knoxville this past weekend for a stop on his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour at Neyland Stadium, and as he’s already done on this tour once before, he broke yet another attendance record. The concert, which featured openers including Dierks Bentley, Ty Myers, Jake Worthington and Thelma & James, drew 92,045 fans to Rocky Top, which broke the record for the largest concert attendance in Neyland Stadium history. Garth Brooks previously held the record for the stadium with 84,846 fans back on November 16, 2019 when he stopped at the University of Tennessee on his stadium tour, but before that you had to go all the way back to 2003 to East Tennessee native Kenny Chesney, who drew 61,870. Now, the record comes with a bit of a caveat: Morgan Wallen performed two shows at Neyland Stadium back in 2024, where he set the two-show record with a combined crowd of 156,161 fans. Attendance wasn’t released for each individual show, but assuming that it was roughly the same each night, Morgan drew roughly 78,000 per show – well off the single show record now held by Luke. Neyland Stadium is the sixth largest stadium in the United States, with an official capacity of 101,915 for Vols football games. But of course concerts are a little different, with the capacity depending on the setup of the stage, how many seats are on the field and how many pit tickets are available, etc. And while it’s a record for Neyland Stadium, the Knoxville show is still smaller than the crowd Luke pulled in when he stopped at Ohio Stadium, home of the Ohio State Buckeyes, in Columbus, Ohio last month. That concert drew 97,367 fans, which blew out the previous concert record for The Horseshoe which had been set by Pink Floyd way back in 1994 with just over 75,000. Oh, and he also set the overall attendance record for Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on opening night of his tour back in March. The Neyland Stadium show is part of a recent trend of colleges booking these major tours in their stadiums to help raise money for NIL, something that’s no doubt benefited both the universities and artists like Combs, Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan who are able to sell out venues of this size. (We reached out to the University of Tennessee for comment on the impact of the concert on NIL, and will update this article if we hear back). It also just goes to show what a powerhouse Luke Combs really is, with ticket sales no doubt benefitting from his limited number of dates this year following the birth of his third son back in February. Luke has previously admitted that his focus on touring changed after he missed the birth of his second son – who was born two and a half weeks early – while touring in Australia: “That really shifted my focus of like, what happens from here? How do I make changes based on this thing? I dread the conversation with my son at some point. Obviously, he doesn’t know that. He’s two and a half. But I dread that conversation (with him saying), ‘Well dad, you made this record about being such a good dad, and then you weren’t there when I was born? But you were there for Tex and you were there Chet. Why was I the only one that you weren’t there for?’ I worry about that a lot.” I mean, if you’re setting records everywhere you go, seems like there’s not really any need to adjust the touring schedule. Fans are clearly still supporting him – in record numbers.
