Lauren Alaina suffers loss and fans hop on stage at concerts | Music City Minute

Jul 30, 2024, 2:41 PM

Lauren Alaina is mourning the sudden loss of her father, J.J. Suddeth. In a statement shared by Alaina, she said, “We lost my daddy last night and I really don’t have the words yet.” The “Getting Good” singer goes on to say she will be missing at least three shows to be home with family. She thanks fans for their prayers, support and understanding.
Well, it looks like concert goers have moved on from hurling projectiles at artists to stage crashing. Police literally dragged a Jason Aldean fan off stage mid-concert in Georgia. A Zach Bryan fan managed to slip past security and hop on stage during a New Orleans tour stop. The fan got close enough to shake Bryan’s hand before being whisked away by the band. It’s safe to assume there will be enhanced security for Aldean and Bryan at future shows because of these ding-dongs.
