Country music superstar Luke Bryan was in the middle of performing his hit song “Country Girl” when he was abruptly interrupted by one concertgoer. During his show on Saturday, July 26 in North Dakota, Bryan was struck in the face by a small object thrown from the crowd.

In fan-recorded footage from the concert, the 49-year-old singer can be seen pointing to fans and singing when suddenly he's hit by the object, believed to be a small ball. Despite the interruption, Bryan didn’t miss a beat — brushing off the incident and continuing his performance for the packed audience.

The video quickly circulated online, drawing strong reactions from viewers and country music fans. “Whoever that was ruined the whole concert because he stopped so early,” one user commented.

Another added, “Disrespectful young kids,” while others called for the person responsible to come forward. “Someone knows who did it. Blast their name,” wrote a fan. “Throwing something at the person singing. Wow, how low can one go?”

So far, the identity of the person who threw the object remains unknown, but the backlash online continues to grow.

The incident comes shortly after Bryan resumed touring following a brief health setback. During a recent show in South Carolina, Bryan reportedly opened up about battling COVID-19, which forced him to cancel several performances earlier this month.

“Three weeks ago I got COVID,” he told the crowd, responding to booing with humor. “You can boo that s--t all you want, but I got it. And I had to cancel some shows. And now I’m back.”

While he’s returned to the stage, Bryan admitted he’s still recovering. “I am not 100 percent” he said candidly.

“When I can sing, I’m gonna sing. When I can’t, y’all are gonna sing, alright? You’re gonna see me hack. I can’t take any more medicine. I can’t do anything else, but just try to breathe.”

It seems the country star is now on the mend from COVID, and despite the interruption during his latest show, he still delivered a memorable performance for fans.
