Over the weekend, Dierks Bentley held his latest Miles & Music for Kids bike ride and concert in Nashville and raised $335,000 for the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. Fellow country stars Chris Young, Jon Pardi and Chase Rice were all there to open the show for Bentley.
It was what happened before the Sept. 28 show that caught the attention of nashvillegab.com. The site noted, "Country stars are big on giving those who help them cool gifts. Miranda Lambert gave Carrie Underwood a motorcycle for helping out on their Something Bad duet and she gave Dierks Bentley an off road vehicle as an end of tour gift that he promptly got stuck in a tree. Rascal Flatts like to give out Jeeps and Luke Bryan once gave Jason Aldean a pretty sweet new (old) Bronco as a thank you."
When Young revealed that Bentley gave him, Pardi and Rice drones as thank you gifts for being part of the annual fundraiser, Nashvillegab.com dished that the "Drunk On A Plane" singer was "apparently trying to start his own drone army."
Since creating the Miles & Music event almost 10 years ago, Bentley and his friends have raised more than $2.6 million for Children's Miracle Network hospitals, reports US99.5.
As for the alleged drone army, Young told ABC Radio that Bentley and Rice were betting that Pardi would be the first to crash his drone.
"We're like, 'I don't know why, but we just have a gut feeling it's gonna be you,'" Young offered, "so I don't know if he's too happy about that, but all of our money is on him crashing his into a tree or something in the next week."
Perhaps country music fans should keep an eye on the sky.
