The country star poked fun at the technical difficulties that caused him to bust out his best angry Billy Joel impression at a recent show in Denver
Morgan Wallen assured fans his piano was still in working order, poking fun at himself after he pushed over his upright during a performance in Denver.
In a short clip shared on social media, Wallen filmed himself walking up to a keyboard and telling the camera, “Hey, I just want you guys to know that, right now, this piano is working.” Then, after taking a step away, he turned back and quipped, “That’s what they told me last night, too!”
(He added in the caption, “Can’t you tell I’m so distraught over my piano.”)
The piano flipping incident occurred during the encore performance of “Sand in My Boots” at Wallen’s first of two headlining shows at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver. Everything seemed to be going smoothly during the sing-along ballad, but some technical difficulties appeared to hinder Wallen’s ability to hear the instrument while he played.
He wound up finishing the song a cappella, which the crowd loved. And after completing the song, he did his best Billy Joel impression and pushed the piano over (which the crowd also seemed to love).
By all accounts, the piano worked fine when Wallen performed “Sand in My Boots” during his second show the following night. And it’ll hopefully still be functional when he returns to the stage this weekend for two shows in Pittsburgh, June 5 and 6.
Wallen has a bunch more shows scheduled for the summer as he continues to promote his 2025 blockbuster record, I’m the Problem. The rest of the run includes stops in Chicago, Clemson, South Carolina, Baltimore, and Ann Arbor, Michigan, before wrapping in Philadelphia July 31 and Aug. 1.
