New York, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 14th Oct, 2017 ) :Jason Aldean, whose headlining set at a country music festival in Las Vegas turned into a massacre, has resumed touring with an appeal to patriotism and US unity.
The singer was two songs into his concert Thursday night in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when he paid tribute to the 58 people gunned down on October 1 by a local man who had amassed an arsenal in a hotel room overhead.
Aldean, whose music often speaks of "forgotten" Americans in rural areas, told the crowd to cheers: "Even though sometimes the United States may seem really divided, we seem like we're fighting with each other, at the end of the day this is the best country in the world." Hailing the "love and support" since the shooting, he said, according to footage posted by fans: "I just feel like if we can do that on a daily basis, then the world will be a lot better place."
