Jason Aldean’s son rushed to the ER, Zac Brown Band drops major news | Music City Minute

Jul 18, 2025, 2:32 PM

It was a rough week for Jason Aldean’s son, Memphis, who ended up in the ER. Mama Britney eventually confirmed that little Memphis had shattered his collarbone and, thankfully, he will be just fine. In an effort to keep his son’s spirits up, the “Let Your Boys Be Country” singer suggested his 7-year-old tell folks that the break happened while wrestling alligators.
It has finally become clear why Zac Brown Band wiped their social media pages recently. The Georgia band confirmed they are dropping a new 13-song album called “Love and Fear,” featuring collaborations with Dolly Parton, Snoop Dogg and Marcus King. But, that’s not all! Zac Brown Band has booked a mini residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas as well. The album release date and the residency kickoff date are both December 5. Tickets for the string of Sin City shows will go on sale Friday, July 25.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
