NASHVILLE, TN (CelebrityAccess) — After being arrested at a Nashville bar last week and subsequently having the charges against him dropped by Nashville’s District Attorney, country star Chris Young has released a statement addressing the situation.
“Hey guys, so I just wanted to say something. You know, I’m still processing a lot through the false accusations and everything that went on in the past week. But I wanted to say first and foremost, thank you to everybody that had my back. It meant the world to me and I had so many friends and fans reach out and say ‘we got you, we don’t believe you did any of this,” Young shared on social media on Tuesday.
“So it’s really nice to see the charges get dismissed. It’s not something I wish anybody has to go through ever. But, like I said, the bright spot was seeing just all the love and support. So what I wanted to do as a thank you to you guys – because this was not planned – is drop a new song from the album so you guys will have something to listen to. We’re going to put out ‘Double Down’ at midnight and I really hope you guys enjoy this one. Crank it up, enjoy it – I appreciate you, I love you, and thank you,” he added.
Young used the opportunity to release a new track from his forthcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Nights. The song, “Double Down,” was written by Monty Criswell, Derek George and Tyler Reeve and will be available for streaming midnight EST on Thursday.
Young’s next album is slated for release on March 22nd via Sony Music Nashville.
