After Vegas Shooting, Luke Bryan Doubles Down On Security For Illinois Tour

EDINBURG, IL — After a mass shooting targeted a country music festival in Las Vegas, singer Luke Bryan assured fans that security will be the top priority for the remaining stops on his Farm Tour 2017. The show makes stops in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Thursday, followed by shows in Edinburg on Friday and Centralia, Missouri, on Saturday.

“We want to assure our fans that we are working with state and local officials to do everything possible to ensure your safety during our Farm Tour shows,” Bryan said in an Oct. 2 Facebook post. “Country music has always been about community and we will continue to stand together.” The country singer added, "We are greatly saddened by the event that took place in Vegas and are praying for those country music fans, their families and all involved."

On Sunday night, a gunman killed at least 58 people and wounded 500 others during the Route 91 Harvest Festival.

Bryan's Farm Tour kicked off Sept. 23 in Nebraska, with dates in Kansas City, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. The fest also features Adam Craig, Jon Langston, The Peach Pickers and DJ ROCK.

On Wednesday, Bryan appeared on Good Morning America, saying he's spoken to Jason Aldean, who was performing at the Route 91 Harvest Festival when the gunfire began. "When they showed the faces of the victims – they're our fans, they embody America," Bryan said. "It's a country music festival, but it's America ... It was one of the most heartbreaking days of my life and for this country too."

Bryan appeared on the morning show with Katy Perry and Lionel Ritchie, who will join him as the judges on the new "American Idol" show. Watch as they talk about the Vegas shooting on GMA:
