The country singer went down hard while performing his song “Heartless.”

Morgan Wallenwas taken down by a cloud of smoke during a Kentucky performance on Thursday.

The fog was part of some stage pyrotechnics set off at his live show in Louisville.

Wallen tries to break his fall but ultimately goes down hard and vanishes beneath the smoke.

The Louisville show was the second date on the U.S. leg of his shows.

“I’m embarrassed and sorry,” he said.

“I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back.

There are no excuses to use this key in of language, ever.”

He continued, “I want to sincerely apologize for using the word.

I promise to do better.”

Wallen was subsequently suspended from hundreds of radio stations and Country Music Television.

However, his record sales have continued to skyrocket since the controversy.
