Morgan Wallen hasn't set foot in a bar since his brush with the law last year.
The country singer was arrested in April 2024 after he threw a chair from the roof of a venue in Nashville, Tennessee owned by fellow musician Eric Church and he was later convicted of two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment and sentenced to a week in a DUI education centre and two years probation - now Morgan has admitted it's "definitely the best thing" if he doesn't go to bars any more.
During an appearance on the 'This Past Weekend' podcast, Morgan explained he rarely goes out in public any more because he doesn't like being "bothered". He said: "It’s still weird [being famous] and there’s parts of that that I don’t like. I mean, I think anyone who was to deal with that ... it’s not ideal to go everywhere, and even if you don’t get bothered, you were on edge the whole time because you thought you might [be bothered].
"There’s just things that you don’t do. You just don’t do them anymore. But that’s okay, that’s why I’ve taken up hunting so much, I think.
"Because I can go be with my buddies, I’m the middle of nowhere. I can be at ease. I can not stress out. You just find ways to supplement it I think, you know."
Host Theo Von then suggested it might be "best" for Morgan to avoid bars and the singer referenced the chair-throwing incident, saying: "It’s definitely the best thing for me.
"If you’re using the bar as a specific example, that’s definitely the best thing for me. I ain’t been in a bar since the last time I was in a bar that everybody knows about.
"The most public time I was in a bar, that’s the last time I was in a bar."
Morgan - who shot to fame as a contestant on TV talent show 'The Voice' - previously took to social media to apologise following the chair-throwing incident admitting he accepted responsibility for his behaviour.
In a post on X - formerly known as Twitter - he wrote: "I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s [bar]. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility."
