The country superstar has always put fans first, and they are deeply loyal. Canceling a show to see North Carolina play Duke puts a strain on that relationship.
However, that probably does not matter to the thousands of people who bought tickets to Church’s show on Saturday, many of whom spent time on Twitter and Instagram on Tuesday and Wednesday slamming the singer for his decision: “The hoops we have jumped through to secure childcare, to drive 4+ hours to see you. To have a night of fun, to see an artist that we have literally bought every record from. This is bull.” “An entire weekend’s travel plans up in smoke.
“When we’re going to put out an album, the people we’re trying to get it in the hands of are the fans, but the fans are also the last people [who] have a chance at it,” Church. “It goes to a label, then the press, then radio and critics — all these people weigh in and get a copy and then it’s the fans.”
A couple of years later, he was becoming famous for playing 3½-hour concerts, and his die-hard listeners were ecstatic.“They would probably stay for five hours, because they’re not like other fans — especially country fans,” journalist Marissa R. Mossin Nashville Scene on the eve of two sold-out concerts in Nashville at the time.
