“Last night, after some alcohol, a chair over there really pissed me off,” Noah sang during a while on stage. “I’m told I threw it at someone I’ve never met and my publicist keeps telling me it’s not over yet.”

Ashley joked, “You should be smiling in the mugshot.”

Morgan – who did not attend the show – was booked by Metropolitan Nashville Police back in April. Two weeks later, the 31-year-old addressed the April 7 incident and said he took full responsibility for his actions.

“I didn’t feel right coming out publicly until I made amends with a few people,” Morgan continued X (formerly known as Twitter) April 19: “I have contacted Nashville law enforcement, my family and the good people at Chief’s. I’m not proud of my behavior and I take responsibility.”
