Morgan Wallen spoke out publicly for the first time since he was arrested in Nashville for allegedly throwing a chair off the roof of a bar earlier this month.
On Friday, the country singer, 30, broke his silence, issuing a statement on X (formerly Twitter), and adding that his ongoing tour will continue as planned despite the charges.
This comes after he was arrested on three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor charge on April 7, according to a statement shared by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this month.
'I didn't feel right public checking in until I made amends with some folks,' he wrote before adding that he had reached out to 'the good people' at Chief's Bar — where the alleged incident occurred.
'I've touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief's,' he continued. 'I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.'

It was previously reported that he could face a lengthy prison sentence after the incident.
An arrest affidavit said the chair landed about three feet from officers, who talked to witnesses and reviewed security footage.
Witnesses told officers that they watched Wallen pick up a chair, throw it over the roof and laugh about it.
Wallen, who was released after posting a $15,000 bond, is potentially looking at six years behind bars, one legal expert told Fox News.
'The felony charges are the most serious ones and could land Wallen in jail for up to six years if he is prosecuted and convicted of those charges,' former New York prosecutor Rither Alabre told the network.
'The reckless endangerment counts could have been charged as misdemeanors, which would have made them less serious and exposed Wallen to a maximum of up to 11 months and 29 days in jail,' he added.
