Morgan Wallen

Specifically referring to tour dates with Luke Bryan and scheduled festival dates, Wallen says he's bowing out.

Wallen's album has bested Garth Brooks 1992 album 'The Chase.'

He took to social media to offer a lengthy statement that includes an apology and explanation.

"Forgiveness is more powerful than abandonment," Allen begins.

Pure album sales went up more than 100 percent.

The fallout continues.

Country Music was slammed by racism on Wednesday. But then it was transformed by a beautiful, brave act by T.J. Osborne.

The Academy of Country Music has ruled the singer ineligible for this year's awards show.

Within 12 hours, his songs were pulled from radio and streaming services.

The announcement means that he's effectively dropped.
