Morgan Wallen took a few moments to remember Charlie Kirk during his Friday night (Sept. 12) I’m the Problem Tour stop in Edmonton, Alberta.
Wallen paused the show before he performed his song, “I’m a Little Crazy.”
He told the crowd that its lyrics — which include the phrase “I’m a little crazy, but the world’s insane” — have had extra resonance for him since Kirk was fatally shot last Wednesday (Sept. 10.)
“I’m not gonna say a whole bunch on this,” Wallen said, “but this song right here has been hitting me harder in the last couple days.”
He also had a message for Kirk’s widow, Erika.
“I just wanted to let Erika Kirk know that me and my family are sending prayers her way,” Wallen continued.
He didn’t directly say anything further about Kirk or his death.
But in that night’s performance of “I’m a Little Crazy,” Wallen delivered a powerful performance of solidarity with the Kirk family, and shared the pain and anger he feels after Kirk’s assassination.
Wallen’s voice seethed as he sang lines like “For the jeepers and the creepers who ain’t right in the head,” and his voice swelled with emotion during the chorus of the song.
Meanwhile, audience members lit up the stadium crowd with cell phone lights.
This weekend marked the conclusion of Wallen’s I’m the Problem Tour, a trek that has been running since June.
