Luke Bryan is speaking out after he was pelted by a ball thrown at him while performing during his “Country Song Came On Tour” stop at the North Dakota State Fair on July 26.

While singing his hit song “Country Girl (Shake It for Me),” someone in the crowd threw a ball toward the stage, striking Bryan in the face mid song. Bryan was visibly thrown off by the incident, taking a minute as the crowd continued to sing the song for him.

Footage recorded by a fan shows country star Luke Bryan stagger, then resume singing after being hit by an object on stage.
