Morgan Wallen did not appear at his first court hearing regarding his recent Nashville arrest.
Wallen’s lawyer, Worrick Robinson, appeared on his behalf instead after waiving the country music star’s first appearance. He explained the Friday court date was a “settlement,” in which Wallen’s legal team and the district attorney’s office could have a conversation about the case.
“This is obviously a very complicated case,” Robinson told reporters after the hearing. “It’s not going to resolve itself without subpoenas and witnesses.”
Robinson explained that they had “reset” the case for Aug. 15 and that Wallen would be in attendance for that date.

Wallen’s lawyer noted that the Aug. 15 court date could be a hearing, they could settle the case or the case could be continued.
“Morgan’s doing well,” Robinson said. “He’s very busy, which is good. He’s a family man and I think this concert is especially special for him because his family lives close.”
The country music star’s tour picked back up on May 2 in Nashville. Wallen will also take the stage on May 3 and May 4.

Wallen first returned to the stage April 20 after allegedly throwing a chair off the sixth floor of the Eric Church-backed bar, Chief’s, in Nashville, Tennessee on April 7.
The “Last Night” singer was “cooperating fully” with the investigation, a rep for the musician told Fox News Digital at the time.
“At 10:53 p.m. Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He is cooperating fully with authorities,” Wallen’s attorney, Robinson, said.

Wallen’s outburst involving the chair did not have anything to do with his ex-girlfriend’s surprise elopement, Fox News Digital previously confirmed.
There is “zero accuracy” in the idea that Wallen allegedly threw a chair off the rooftop of a Nashville bar in reaction to KT Smith’s marriage to Luke Scornavacco, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital.
Smith and Scornavacco surprised fans with an elopement on April 3, just days after getting engaged. The couple announced their engagement on March 29 and shared a selfie showing off a Wilson County Clerk’s Office marriage certificate shortly after.
Wallen and Smith share a son, Indigo.
