TWANG TOWN LOWDOWN - TUESDAY JULY 5TH

THE BAND PERRY: Threat Cancels Concert 

The Band Perry cancelled Sunday night's show in Delaware over security concerns after two men made violent threats against the venue.

Authorities say that Dzmitry Papou and another unidentified male walked into the Americana Bayside Welcome Center and made threats to an employee at the front desk. A call to police prompted heightened security at the venue and The Band Perry ultimately decided to cancel its concert for later that night. The band was at the venue at the time of the threat and later announced the cancellation about 15 minutes before the concert was to begin.

The band released a statement saying, "While we are sad we don't get to see you tonight, we love you and consider your well-being and security our top priority." The show has been rescheduled for August 17th. Police are asking the public for help in identifying the two men seen in surveillance footage.


CHRIS STAPLETON: Spends His Fourth With the Troops



Chris Stapleton spent his Independence Day with those who help keep our nation safe.

KEITH URBAN: Finds a New Fan-Guitarist 



It’s not very often that you see Keith Urban singing without a guitar in his hands or playing lead on his RipCord tour, but the Aussie made an exception this weekend.

While playing the first of two sold-out shows in New Hampshire on Saturday night, Keith spotted two signs in the crowd in front of him. One sign, held up by a young woman, read, "It’s my boyfriend’s birthday!” It had an arrow pointing to the other sign, held up by a young man, saying, “Can I play your guitar?” Keith brought the young man, named Rob, up on stage to test out his skills, handing over his vintage Fender guitar.

Before someone could bring the country star another guitar, the birthday boy broke into Keith’s “Good Thing,” and the crowd went wild. Keith’s band members were side-stage at the time because their leading man was set to play an acoustic song during that part of the show, so they scrambled on stage to join in the jam session. The result was an incredible impromptu performance, with a fan playing lead the entire time -- and absolutely killing it. 



KENNY CHESNEY: 37 Hospitalized, 7 Arrested



Although 37 people were hospitalized and seven arrested at Kenny Chesney's Saturday show at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, city officials say they're "very pleased" with the way things went.

None of the casualties appeared to be serious -- nearly all were for dehydration or too much drinking. The arrests were all for minor booze-related issues; a handful of summonses were issued for marijuana possession. And despite mountains of trash left behind after the show, it had all reportedly been cleaned up by early Sunday morning.
