Route 91 Harvest Festival: Country Stars Start Doing Their Part
Dierks Bentley Gives Blood and Finds Hope
Helping is healing, for everyone. And country stars are no exception.
Dierks Bentley
took one of the first steps toward healing after the Las Vegas mass
shooting by donating his blood. He shared an Instagram picture of what
he said was his first smile in days.
“I haven’t really been able to function at all since the shooting. Such deep sorrow. Sadness. Heavy and dark,” Bentley wrote.
“My relationship with country music fans, as well as my band and my
crew’s relationship with them, is something we all cherish so deeply,”
he added. “Some of those friendships have been forged for well over a
decade. My heart breaks over and over again for all those fans in Las
Vegas and their families.”

And while Bentley is doing his part to help, Luke Bryan
is doing his by promising his fans that he’s doing everything he can to
keep everyone safe during his Farm Tour. “We want to assure our fans
that we are working with state and local officials to do everything
possible to ensure your safety during our Farm Tour shows. Country Music
has always been about community and we will continue to stand
together,” Bryan wrote in a Facebook post.
Florida Georgia Line are getting involved, too, by encouraging everyone to give to the Clark Country GoFundMe
account, even making a call to Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Tim McGraw and more
to donate as much as possible. “Let’s give the hurt families one less
thing to worry about in this time of distress,” they wrote. “Times like
this call for us to come together and do what we can to make a
difference. Let’s ease the financial burden on the families and victims
of this senseless tragedy. Much love y’all.”
And Jason Aldean‘s
wife Brittany posted a heartfelt message about what it was like the
night of the shooting, and what was running through her mind when the
gunfire started and went on relentlessly for more than ten minutes. “I
never even got to hold my baby,” she thought, promising that each and
every one of the victims will be forever in her and Aldean’s prayers.
