When a “USA” chant broke out at his recent show, Justin Moore responded in an epic way.

Justin Moore has never shied away from showing his pride in America. In addition to his music celebrating our nation, he has performed for military families and service members at USO events and often incorporates military tributes into his public live shows.

After the 42-year-old performed “The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home” at a recent show, the crowd erupted in a collective chant of “USA! USA! USA!” The emotional song pays tribute to soldiers who did not return home from duty.

Moore responded by removing his hat and belting out the National Anthem a cappella for the crowd, in a powerful moment of patriotism.

Witness the moving moment in the video below!

The musician has seen visible weight gain around his neck, which doctors initially believed had the potential to be cancer. After testing, the mass was determined to be benign, or non-cancerous.

The “Small Town USA” singer was diagnosed with a lipoma, or a “slow-growing, fatty lump that most often is located between the skin and muscle layer but below the skin.” Moore explained his decision not to pursue surgery for the issue and shared:

“They said it would be very, very difficult to do surgery and it may affect my singing and even my speaking voice.”

In good spirits, he added:

“It’s weird, it doesn’t affect me. I just uh I just look like a linebacker, circa 1982, you know, thick neck.”
