Eric Church Addresses Backlash to His Covers of Snoop Dogg and Tupac at Stagecoach

The country star said he wanted to 'take a chance' on an unexpected performance.

The "Record Year" singer hit the stage for his seventh time playing the Indio, California, music festival on Friday, delivering a surprising and polarizing performance that featured a 16-person choir and his longtime collaborator, Joanna Cotton, putting on a covers-heavy 75-minute setlist. Church performed Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice," Tupac Shakur's "California Love," Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," Edwin Hawkins' "Oh Happy Day," Al Green's "Take Me To the River," Ben E. King's "Stand By Me," Loggins & Messina's "Danny's Song," and "This Little Light of Mine." Morgan Wallen and Eric Church perform at the T-Mobile Mane Stage during the 2024 Stagecoach Festival at Empire Polo Club on April 28, 2024 in Indio, California.
