Bailey Zimmerman Offers Public Apology After Wild Crash My Playa Set

Over the weekend, several country artists swapped their snow boots for sandals to celebrate Luke Bryan’s 10th anniversary of Crash My Playa in Riviera Cancun, Mexico.

The annual beach fiesta promises fun, good vibes, relaxation, and excitement, making it the ultimate getaway for country music fans. Located under the sun-soaked beaches and crystal-clear waters, it’s the perfect destination to enjoy your favorite tunes in paradise.

The artist lineup featured top-notch performers like Lainey Wilson, Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, and more. While most invited artists received compliments and praise as they packed their bags to leave the beach, one artist wasn’t as fortunate.

Bailey Zimmerman’s Chaotic Performance Sparks Social Media Frenzy

Bailey Zimmerman appeared to have let the good times roll before hitting the stage for his pool party set. His usually energetic and upbeat stage presence was on full display, but this time with a touch of chaos and unpredictability.

His off-pitch vocals, uncharacteristic antics, and erratic behavior led fans and spectators to believe Zimmerman may have been intoxicated during his performance. The Rock and a Hard Place singer struggled to hit notes, remember his lyrics, and at times, even maintain his balance.

Zimmerman faced a harsh reality when videos highlighting his performance, which some would describe as rough, quickly went viral on social media. Clips surfaced revealing faulty sound and footage of him stumbling around on stage before leaping into the water with the crowd.

Zimmerman’s Public Apology and Path to Redemption

Coming to terms with his situation, Zimmerman took to all social platforms to publicly apologize and take full responsibility for his actions. 

“I was always raised up to hit my problems head-on, and never to lie, and always be truthful and honest, even when you’re embarrassed,” Zimmerman said in a video.

Holding himself accountable, the singer expressed his disappointment, acknowledging his mistakes and offering a heartfelt apology to fans for not delivering the performance they expected.

“So, I'd like to talk about something that's been eating me alive,” Zimmerman shared. “Last weekend down in Cancun, Mexico, I'm sure everyone has seen the videos of me playing absolutely awful. And singing absolutely awful. And I feel like you guys deserve an explanation from me because you've had my back through the highs and lows and through every mistake. So, what happened was I decided to drink that day, which was a mistake, and I got up on stage, and I was too drunk to play. And I sang awful, I played awful. Nobody got the show they wanted or paid for, and I'm disappointed in myself.”

He continued, “If you've been to my shows, you know how much I've talked about God since Day 1, and it was an awful representation of that. I'm embarrassed and I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure this never happens again. I'm just asking for a little grace. Man, growing up is interesting, and it's not an excuse, but, man, thank you to everybody who's got my back.”
