Country singer Gavin Adcock ended his concert in an uproar, chanting “Charlie Kirk,” honoring the activist after he was assassinated Wednesday.
Adcock performed at Cable Dahmer Arena in Independence, Missouri, and concluded his show by acknowledging Kirk. The singer shared a video of the final moments of his Thursday night show on Instagram.
He led the crowd with a chant, shouting “Charlie Kirk,” while holding up an American flag. Adcock was shirtless, wearing only a cowboy hat and a pair of jeans, while leading the crowd.
He then waved the flag while the crowd led the chant.
“Jesus loves every single one of you in this place tonight. Charlie Kirk’s with Jesus. I want ya’ll to say some thoughts and prayers tonight before you go to sleep. When you lay down by yourself or by your loved one, say some prayers for somebody that needs it. I appreciate every single one of ya’ll. I hope you have a safe trip home,” he said before ending his show.
He captioned the video, shared to Instagram on Friday, writing, “I didn’t get the privilege of meeting Charlie Kirk, but anybody that loves Jesus is a friend of mine.

“His outspoken beliefs were not silenced 2 days ago. His voice is now stronger than ever and will make an impact for centuries. There is not a thing in the world you can say to make this better, but my thoughts and prayers go out to every single person that is hurting from this horrible tragedy.
“Always stand up for what you believe. The truth is rare nowadays.”
Adcock included the Bible verse Psalms 97:10, “You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked.”
