Parker McCollum Falls On Stage During First Show Since Becoming A Dad
on Aug 26, 2024
Country singer Parker McCollum took a tumble on stage this weekend.
Parker McCollum is currently on his first headlining tour, the Burn It Down Tour, which has taken him all over the country, from Texas to Louisiana to Virginia and Florida. It will eventually take him to the West Coast, where he will play in Arizona, Nevada, and California.
During his set at Rio Rancho Event Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, McCollum brought energy from the very first step he took on stage.
According to a TikTok account, about five minutes into his headlining set, the “Burn It Down” singer fell off the bottom step of the stairs he had on stage. The TikTok starts with the singer sharing a microphone with his guitar player before he walks over to the stairs. He stepped up on one step with his right foot, and as he tried to set his left foot down, he missed the step and fell down!
Knowing he had a guitar strapped to him, McCollum lowered his shoulder and was able to roll out of the fall and land kneeling on his right knee. His face was priceless and he looked shocked that he was able to save himself.
His fall, and priceless reaction, garnered him tons of applause from the audience, who was glad he was okay, because it could’ve been so much worse!
This show was the first time he performed live since welcoming his first child, a son named Major Yancey Tyler McCollum, with his wife Hallie Ray Light McCollum.
Parker and Hallie have been married since March 28, 2022. She is the inspiration behind Parker’s 2020 song, “Hallie Ray Light.”
They shared their pregnancy news in February and shortly after revealed they were having a baby boy. On August 5, McCollum revealed he was taking two weeks off to welcome the baby, since their due date was August 14.
But now, he’s back on the road and ready to finish out his Burn It Down Tour, which runs until the end of October.
