Two-time reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan will wrap his “Bayer Presents Luke Bryan Farm Tour 2016” this Saturday and a portion of the proceeds from the eight year run will bring his total of awarded college scholarships to 50. The “Luke Bryan Farm Tour Scholarship” is granted to a local college student from a farming family within the communities the tour has played.

The tour resumed in Batesville, Mississippi last night, the first concert back since his collar bone surgery over the weekend to repair a break from a mountain bike accident. The ever-positive Luke upheld ‘the show must go on’ attitude not missing a beat and continued with the remaining three shows scheduled last week. Fans unable to attend a farm tour show were able to tune-in for a livestream on Luke’s Facebook page last Friday from Greenback, Tennessee.  Sounds Like Nashville was along for that show too.

He then followed it up with the X-ray following his surgery, where they had to put some metal in to fuse his bones together.

All good. Got me some metal. pic.twitter.com/ZjQ5Q2mWK3

His clavicle, though, wasn’t the only injury he suffered during a bicycle accident in Greenback, Tennessee last week.

Even with his arm in a sling, Luke Bryan says the show must go on, and it did. The Farm Tour 2016 got its start in Greenback (near Knoxville), Tennessee on Thursday night, even after Luke Bryan broke his clavicle in a biking accident earlier in the day. He posted a photo of his X-ray on his Twitter  (see below).

Yep. pic.twitter.com/0CHrd0nxe9

Broken clavicle. All good. Show is a go. I'll just have my arm in a sling.

According to the ABC affiliate WATE, Luken kicked up the dust up before more than 16,000 people at Maple Lane Farms Thursday night and paid tribute to its late founder, Bob Schmidt, who is also honored at the end of Luke’s video for “Here’s to the Farmer,” the title track from his new Farm Tour EP.

This marks the country superstar’s third stop in Greenback, but it’s the first year without Farmer Bob, who passed away earlier this year after suffering two strokes.

The Greenback show comes one day after Luke had to cancel the first Farm Tour date in Gaston, South Carolina, due to Hurricane Matthew.

Luke Bryan and his team have been forced to cancel the Farm Tour 2016 date at Culler Farms in Gaston, South Carolina, due to the Hurricane Matthew evacuation orders that begin on Wednesday in the coastal areas of South Carolina. The evacuation orders have impacted the traffic routes to the farm. Full refunds will be provided within the next 72 hours with notification being sent via email. Please check http://www.lukebryan.com/farm-tour.html for more information.

Luke will be in Knoxville on Thursday, and if you can’t make it to the show (or to the Farm Tour period), tune in to his Facebook page for a peek inside this year’s Farm Tour at Maple Lane Farms!

Luke Bryan’s Farm Tour EP, Here’s to the Farmer, bowed at No. 1 on the country album chart this week. The five-song EP sold over 34,000 copies to land at the top of the country chart and No. 4 overall on the Billboard Top 200.

Luke says some of his early fans will really enjoy the songs on his Farm Tour EP. “What’s interesting is that a lot of that is what the start of my career was based on, and I think some of my fans from the way back will appreciate, you’ll be able to hear some of that that kind of sounds like my early record stuff.”

The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year kicks off his eighth annual Farm Tour Wednesday (October 5th) in Gaston, South Carolina.

Luke Bryan stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday (September 28th) to talk about his Farm Tour EP, Here’s to the Farmer, and perform his latest single, “Move.” What he didn’t expect was to talk about how many times fans clutch his rear and how his team has invoked a “no butt-touching rule,” or the fact that he would get soaking wet in a game called “Oops! My Water Broke.” Ellen also presented Luke a check for $10,000 from Shutterfly for Luke’s Farm Tour Scholarship Fund. Check out all of the action below.

You can also catch Luke on the CMA Awards 50th Anniversary song, “Forever Country.”

Luke Bryan released his first-ever Farm Tour EP, Here’s to the Farmer, on Friday (September 23rd). The five-song collection, three of which he co-wrote, coincides with his eighth annual Farm Tour, which is set to kick-off October 5th in Gaston, South Carolina.

Luke says being surrounded by farmers – including his father who was a peanut farmer – gave him a great work ethic and foundation, especially after moving to Nashville to pursue his dream of being a country artist.

“My whole existence and 90% of the men that I grew up with in my life were all farmers and of that background. So, it was just what I knew. I saw all of the struggles that all of them dealt with – the things that they could control and the things that they can’t,” he says. “Just that whole farming mentality, you can learn so many things from, from just how to properly do business and how to do business like you should. It’s a pretty resilient business, and at the end of the day, it was a great foundation of upbringing to prepare me for another type of farming, which is music. So, it’s all farming up something whether you’re farming corn or songs, I guess. So, certainly growing up like that taught me a lot.”

Luke is also “moving” up the country charts with his latest single, “Move,” from his Kill the Lights album.
