Jason Aldean Pens Heartfelt Letter Following Las Vegas Shooting
On Oct. 1, country singer/songwriter Jason Aldean was performing his song "When She Says Baby" at the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest Festival when shots were fired into the crowd, resulting in at least 58 deaths and more than 500 injuries. Fortunately, Aldean and his crew were not injured.
After an initial post expressing his sadness, thoughts and prayers for the victims, Aldean has now penned a longer letter that touches on his fear at the current state of the world, the need for people to come together and his continued thoughts and prayers for the victims of the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.
"Over the last 24 hrs I have gone through lots of emotions. Fear, Anger, Heartache, Compassion and many others," he wrote in an Instagram post. "My heart aches for the Victims and their families of this Senseless act. I am so sorry for the hurt and pain everyone is feeling right now and there are no words I can say to take that pain away. Just know u all are in my heart and my prayers as we all go through this together."
