Morgan Wallen's First Call After The Chair-Throwing Incident Was To Eric Church

It's taken months, but we're getting a more complete picture of what exactly happened in the Morgan Wallen chair-throwing incident. In an interview with the "Los Angeles Times," Eric Church revealed for the first time that when Morgan was in the process of being arrested (after the chair-toss but before the handcuffs), his first call was to Church. "Morgan called me from the street after it happened. I was watching college basketball, and he said, 'Hey, this just happened.' I said, 'Uh-oh.' I knew it was gonna be noisy, and it was...it was damn noisy." Once the noise died down, though, Church says it was a growth-moment for the singer. "It was actually a good thing for Mo. I think that was a line for him, and he’s done really well since then...it was a thing he’s reacted positively to as a person. I used the old Billy Joe Shaver line on him: 'I’m just an old chunk of coal, but I’ll be a diamond one day.' He went down [to Chief’s] and apologized to the staff, shook everybody’s hand. I was proud of him."
