The original story from TMZ stated that shortly after Tim’s confrontation he returned to the stage and addressed what had happened.
According to the publication, it’s thought that Tim said that he’d been filming the Yellowstone prequel for 48 consecutive hours. Tim explained that his extended work schedule caused him to forget the words to the song ‘Just to See You Smile’.
While it’s unclear what happened to the hecklers in the crowd - it’s thought that Tim eventually got back to the show and finished performing his set.
This isn’t the first time it’s been reported that Tim has confronted crowds during one of his concerts. It’s thought that Tim previously addressed a crowd in 2007 during one of his joint concerts with his wife Faith Hill.
