Morgan Wallen Stops Denver Concert When Crowd Members Lift Up An Unconscious Fan
It was quite an eventful show.
This past weekend, Morgan Wallen made tons of headlines during his first night playing at Denver, Colorado’s Empower Field at Mile High Stadium, after he flipped his piano over during night one because of some technical issues.
But there was a much scarier scene during that same show that got far less press. When a man in the crowd passed out and fans couldn’t seem to get the attention of any security or medical personnel. After more and more fans created more of a scene, by waving their phone lights and pointing at the man, Morgan eventually saw them since they were pretty close to the stage, and he stopped the music to say into his mic:
“Hold on, hold on. Y’all get some help for this man right here.”
He waited until he got the okay from security and medical professionals that they had the man and were getting him help, and Morgan started the song over, “Love Somebody,” once that was all handled:

Fans at the concert shared video from the scary moment, and one fan says people were yelling for security “for a while,” but no one could hear them, so some guys nearby picked the man up, who appeared to have passed out, and held him up almost like he was crowd surfing, and that’s when Morgan finally saw him and alerted staff that someone needed immediate medical attention.
It’s scary that it took that much effort just to alert someone of a medical issue, but Morgan is playing massive stadiums with tons of people, so hopefully the man is doing okay and it wasn’t a serious as it looked:
“People were yelling for security for a while but no one could hear the yells for help, so these guys just picked him up and that’s when Morgan saw him and stopped the music.”
The video is pretty scary, but luckily Morgan figured out pretty fast what was going on once he saw all of the commotion:

Obviously it’s tough get someone attention in the middle of a packed stadium, and we’ve seen tragic events unfold at other concerts where the performers failed to stop the show. Good on Morgan for stopping this one as early as he could. Hopefully we can find a better system for this in the future.
Morgan heads to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this Friday for two nights at Acrisure Stadium,
