Morgan Wallen: Country music star flips piano during performance in meltdown caught on camera

County music star Morgan Wallen has stunned fans after flipping a piano on stage during a dramatic outburst at a concert in Denver.

The 33-year-old was performing his hit song Sand in My Boots at Empower Field at Mile High on Friday night when technical issues appeared to derail the performance.

Video shared across social media show Mr Wallen becoming visibly frustrated while seated at the piano before abandoning the instrument and finishing the song a cappella.

Moments later the singer walked back toward the piano, shoved it across the stage and flipped it onto its side as the crowd gasped and cheered in surprise.

Despite the angry blow-up, the country star carried on performing more of his hits to see out the concert.

Footage of the incident has gone viral online, with fans divided over the singer’s on-stage behaviour.

“This gave me the biggest ick,” one unhappy commenter wrote.

Another added: “Well that was mature.”

“Why does this bother y’all so much,” one person said at the star’s defence.

Mr Wallen has not publicly addressed the situation.

The very public tantrum came during the two-time Grammy nominee’s tour which kicked off in Minneapolis in April and features a rotation of support acts including Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, Thomas Rhett and Ella Langley.

The USA tour will see the star trek across to multiple States to play at major venues. It is set to wrap up in August in Philadelphia.

The onstage meltdown isn’t the first attention-grabbing statement the musician has made during one of his performances.

During his I’m the Problem tour in June last year, Mr Wallen set the stage on fire during a concert in Houston, Texas.

Mr Wallen has also faced controversy away from the stage.

In April 2025 the Whiskey Glasses hitmaker was arrested after hurling a chair off the roof of a bar in Nashville.

Later in December he was sentenced to seven days at a DUI education centre as well as two years’ probation.
