Eric Church pushes through pain to deliver pulse-pounding show for Jacksonville fans | Music City Minute

In show business, there are two important phrases artists live by: “break a leg” (meaning good luck) and “the show must go on.” That said, it would seem Eric Church has taken both of those phrases a little too seriously, and let’s just say the 48 hours leading up to a recent Jacksonville, Florida, show were just as incredible and unforgettable as the concert itself. Acknowledging his mismatched footwear (consisting of a regular boot and walking cast boot), the North Carolina native recounted how he accidentally kicked the *#!% out of his suitcase, resulting in a broken left foot. Yet, regardless of the cast, Church promised to make up for his lack of mobility with a passionate performance. Needless to say, the Chief certainly lived up to his word, with fans confirming a lively 2 1/2-hour performance. Not only that, the 48-year-old added a little flourish to the song “These Boots” by singing the line “Nearly kicked that suitcase across the room!” Thankfully, the “Springsteen” singer only has two more dates left on his calendar before a nice long break until June.
