Eric Church says Las Vegas shooting inspired his new single 'Desperate Man'

Eric Chruch, like most of the musicians, let his music speak his mind as he poured his thoughts in his latest song

Eric Church dropped his latest music 'Desperate Man' on July 13 and the singer opened up about how the song has been inspired by his emotional journey, which he faced following the aftermath of the mass shooting that took place at the 'Route 91 Harvest Festival' in Las Vegas in October of 2017.

The three-day festival saw Eric headlining the concert on the first day (September 29, 2017). However, on the last day of the festival (October 1, 2017), a gunman opened fire into the crowd from his hotel room adjacent to the concert site while singer Jason Aldean was performing. 58 people were found dead after the incident and  851 injured. It is believed that gunman, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, fired more than 1,100 rounds from his suite.
