"@ChaseRiceMusic, We all want to tour," she added."We just care about our fans and their families enough to wait."
While Rice himself has yet to react to the backlash his performance has sparked, the Brushy Mountain Group -- which hosted the event -- released a statement to TMZ. "All local requirements were abided by for the recent concert, and numerous precautions were taken," they wrote."We drastically reduced our maximum venue capacity of 10,000 to 4,000 maximum capacity with less than 1,000 in attendance Saturday night providing ample space in the outdoor lawn area for fans to spread out to their own comfort level."
"All guests were given temperature checks prior to entering the venue and free hand sanitizer was provided to everyone at entry," the statement continued."All vendors and staff were advised to wear masks and gloves when interacting with guests, and bandanas were available for purchase on-site."
