2 years after Vegas massacre, Jason Aldean says he thinks about Route 91 Harvest 'family' every day
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Two years after a mass shooting that killed 58 people at a country music festival in Las Vegas, country singer Jason Aldean tweeted that he thinks about the Route 91 Harvest "family" every day.
"This will always be a tough day for us," Aldean wrote Tuesday. "Not a day goes by that we don’t think about our @Route91Harvest family."
Aldean was performing onstage with his band when shots rang out from the 32nd floor of a nearby hotel, sending the crowd at the outdoor concert scattering for cover.

“For us, it’s sort of been a daily thing," he said in an interview with iHeartRadio in September. "Every night in our meet-and-greets, we meet new fans who were here. I don’t think we’ve played a show this year where we haven’t had survivors come out to the show. I feel we do that on a daily basis, not just as the anniversary’s coming up.”
