Kenny Chesney: The Show Must Go On!
Kenny Chesney stuck to the old adage that the show must go on – despite a bone-crushing incident in front of the crowd during his sold-out performance Saturday night in Columbia, S.C.
As Kenny entered the stadium, he apparently got his right foot stuck in the lifting device of an elevator hoisting him into the middle of the arena!
Not usually a good thing to have happen!
The band kept playing until Chesney, his hand holding his knee, began his oepning number. He didn’t mention the injury during his performance, though it was clear to those at the concert that he was limping and holding his knee during musical breaks in the show, says CMT.
In a statement issued after the show, which was part of his part of his “Poets and Pirates” tour, Chesney said, “I took one look at those fans, and there was no way I wasn’t going on. Sometimes the energy and the adrenalin pull you through. They had come to rock, and there was no way I was sending them home with anything less than the best of what me and my guys came to do – put it all out there and give them back at least as good as they gave us.”
