Charlie Kirk, a conservative critic, passed away tragically, and the country music industry is in grief. On social media, a number of artists who knew him or had personal ties to him shared their sorrows, recalling the influence he had on their lives.
Their moving remembrances brought to light not just their loss but also Kirk’s impact on friends and supporters.
Jason Aldean, a longstanding admirer of President Donald Trump and the conservative movement, was one of the people who voiced their opinions. Aldean posted a picture of Kirk and his wife Brittany alongside him, captioning it:
“Charlie Kirk was one of the kindest, smartest and bravest people I’ve ever met. I’m honored to have met and spoken with him on a few occasions. He was a man of peace and wanted nothing but the best for our country and its youth.”
Aldean Dedicates Song in Detroit
Aldean halted his sold-out Detroit event on September 11 in remembrance of his departed friend. He dedicated his popular song “Try That In A Small Town” to Turning Point USA’s co-founder.
Aldean spoke passionately to the audience before the song began:
“I couldn’t get through tonight without addressing something that happened yesterday, as you guys well know. An amazing person by the name of Charlie Kirk was murdered yesterday in Utah. This was a guy that I knew for a few years, had a chance to meet him on quite a few occasions, talk to him, one of the best people ever. I mean, this is not the guy you go after is what I’m trying to say.”
