October 1st started out like any other night for Jason Aldean. He was on stage performing his music to thousands of adoring fans. But then all hell, literally, broke loose.
For the last month and a half, he has been silent about that night. But now he is talking and he gave his first interview to Today. The news show released a preview of Thursday’s segment and he talks about the exact moment that America was changed forever. He told the reporter that he was wearing an in-ear monitor to hear the music and messages from the band during the concert. Then all of sudden, he heard some crackling. He thought a speaker might have blown. Then that sound went away and he went out as though it was nothing.
All of sudden the noise started again, and he described what happened next, “I was actually getting kind of aggravated, so I looked over at the monitor guy on the side of the stage, and I was like, ‘What is that? And fix it.’ And when I turned and looked, my guitar player had run behind me and was telling me to move, like, ‘Let’s go.’ And my security guy was running on stage, telling me to run.”
That 1 minute snippet gave me chills. I cannot even imagine what he and everyone, who was there that horrible night, went through. I also cannot wait to hear the rest of that interview because I am sure that experience changed him in a way none of us could ever understand.
