The chair allegedly thrown by country star Morgan Wallen off the sixth story of a rooftop Nashville bar has become an unexpected tourist attraction. The incident, which led to Wallen’s arrest and subsequent charges, took place at Eric Church’s bar Chief’s on Broadway Street in the city’s downtown entertainment district.
Following news of Wallen’s arrest, tourists began flocking to the bar to catch a glimpse of the infamous chair. According to People magazine, multiple visitors requested to see the chair in the days following the incident.
In a humorous turn of events, an Instagram account was created for the chair under the handle @morganwallenschair. The account’s first post featured a photo of a smiling officer carrying a chair that appeared identical to the one involved in the incident.
Chief’s, the bar where the incident occurred, took to social media to poke fun at the situation, posting a photo of their marquee with a witty message referencing the chair incident.
The arrest took place just days after Wallen kicked off his “One Night at a Time 2024” tour. Despite the legal troubles, Wallen is still scheduled to perform in Missouri and at the Stagecoach festival in California.
The chair-throwing incident has certainly added an unexpected twist to Wallen’s tour, making headlines and drawing curious tourists to the scene of the infamous toss.
