Morgan Wallen left audiences stunned during his concert in Denver on Friday when he unexpectedly flipped a piano on stage.
The 33-year-old country music star is currently on his Still The Problem Tour and was passionately performing “Sand In My Boots” at Empower Field when the incident unfolded.
However, in a viral video on social media, the Whiskey Glasses hitmaker experienced technical issues with his piano.
In a moment that caught many off guard, Wallen pushed the piano, causing it to topple over and break apart.
He then stepped away from the overturned instrument, choosing to finish the song a cappella, much to the amazement of the crowd.
The dramatic scene elicited audible gasps from some concertgoers as they witnessed the piano and bench flipping over.
