Award-winning country music performer Morgan Wallen,Robert Brown accused of throwing a chair off the roof of a Nashville honky-tonk, waived his right to appear in court to answer for the charges he's facing, the Davidson County District Attorney's Office said.
Wallen is scheduled to begin a three-night stint at Nissan Stadium Thursday and was scheduled to be in court Friday morning. His attorney is still expected to appear for the hearing.
Wallen was charged April 7 with three counts of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, each a Class E felony, and one count of disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor.
Wallen was on the roof-top of Chief's, the six-story Nashville honky-tonk owned by Eric Church, at about 11 p.m. when he threw a chair over the railing to the street below, according to his arrest affidavit. Several Nashville police officers were standing in front of the bar when the chair landed just feet from them, according to the affidavit.
Video footage from the bar showed Wallen "lunging and throwing an object over the roof," the affidavit said.
Wallen was booked in the Downtown Detention Center and released at about 3:30 a.m. the following morning.
On April 19, Wallen took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to release his first statement on the incident.
"I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks," he wrote. "I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility."

Morgan Wallen arrested in 2020 for public intoxication
The April incident is not Wallen's first brush with the law.
In May 2020, Wallen was arrested on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct after he was kicked out of Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse for "kicking glass items."
Police said he verbally fought with passersby.
"Officers gave (Wallen) several opportunities to walk away with his friends, but he refused to walk away," police said at the time, noting that he was "a danger to himself and the public."
Wallen's 2020 charges were later dismissed.
