During his Grand Ole Opry performance on Wednesday, October 4th, an emotional Eric Church honored the victims of the Las Vegas tragedy with a new song, “Why Not Me?”
“The reason I’m here, the reason I’m here tonight, is because of Heather Melton. Her husband, Sonny, who died. And every person that was there,” Church shared. “Because let me tell you something, I saw that crowd. I saw them with their hands in the air. I saw them. I saw them with boots in the air. And what I saw, that moment in time, was frozen. There’s no amount of bullets that can take it away. None.”
