Musicians and actors have been performing drunk since the times of the traveling minstrels and well before..nothing new..It was almost expected back in the day for a musican to have a bottle on stage wiht them..

this is nothing new or newsworthy... just all too common tragic excess..

Now if it were my surgeon, or pilot, which i am sure also happens, THEN I would be outraged and frightened..

If musicians want to be self destructive, well, that is their choice, or their "sentence", more likely...

This story was good enough to print, so someone deedmed it newsworthy. I didn't write the story. I posted it here for discussion.

That's ridiculous that he got paid. If he was really sorry, he wouldn't have taken payment and donated from his money.

@GCR18, the original post says he did donate his payment to the charity.
@nomless

Correct. He took money for the performance and donated it. I didn't think he should have been paid for the performance since he didn't really give one. I thought he should have reached in his pocket and donated his own money if he really felt bad.

I agree. I thought people lent their time and efforts free for charity events. I guess not.

For anyone to add "LOL" in referencing this is appalling.

I don't think I've ever heard of him!

You're entitled to your opinion. I see nothing appalling about the discussion. My opening statement will stand.

Me either. Not until I saw the clip of his performance on television. And read where he and someone who looked like him, had a fight. I cracked my side. I don't know a thing about him, other than he is known as a country singer.

How embarrassing! He probably wants to crawl into a hole and hide, now...

How incredibly sad. A few years ago when he was on Celebrity Apprentice (yes, THAT show LOL) I really liked him. He was this big dude with the deeeeeep voice who was a pussycat. He was very tender-hearted and played for a charity that had touched his life via his daughter. He was pretty sharp and pretty open about his demons so it's a shame he's having such a bad go of it.

I'm going to pray that he will seek treatment and wish him success.

Wow. He has been through a lot.

Everybody has their personal "demons" but

its magnified when the person is in the

limelight I guess.

Yes, he almost fell off his seat on stage though.
But the only person injured would be himself. Which is just fine.
Not necessarily, depends on the set up, but I see your point. Peformers have fallen off stage and into the crowds before.

@itiswhatitis good point!
