Eric Church Responds to Critics of His Stagecoach Performance: ‘This Was the Most Difficult Set I Have Ever Attempted’


The “Record Year” singer drew some negative responses from fans at the country music festival, when he performed an unorthodox set of gospel-inspired tunes.

He also performed stripped-down takes of his own songs, but his own band joined him at the end of his set, closing out with his classic “Springsteen.” In response to the criticism, Eric released a statement, standing by his decision, citing other influences including Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, and Bob Seger. Eric made a final guest appearance during Morgan Wallen ‘s headline set on Sunday, April 28.
