Justin Moore wasn’t in attendance when a lone gunman opened fire on the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas last year killing 58 and injuring hundreds of country fans, but he shares that the massacre had a major affect on him.
At a recent concert, he invited three festival survivors to the stage who wanted him to autograph a sign that read, “Survivor 10/01/2017 Country Strong" which he did and gave them a big hug.
Later, he’d invite Joe’s family members, Ashley and Isaac, to help sing “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” with him on stage as fans in the audience chanted “Joe” and “God bless you guys.”
“How ’bout we dedicate this song to our military and to the folks that went to the Route 91 festival and didn’t make it back home that night?” Justin asks while Joe tearfully nods in approval.
