Ella Langley Addresses Bomb Threat That Led to Show Cancellation: ‘A Concert’s Not Worth a Human Life’

Ella Langley returned to the stage in Lubbock, Texas, Saturday night (Oct.

10) after canceling Friday’s concert in Tulsa, Okla., due to a security threat that had been called in ahead of the event.

Langley explained why that decision was made on Saturday in Lubbock.

“When it comes to keeping you safe, and making sure that this show is a safe place for us to come and enjoy our music, it will happen.

But the second it feels like it’s not, I’m not doing it.

I’m not doing it because a concert’s not worth a human life.

It’s not,” Langley said, as seen in a fan-filmed video clip from Saturday’s show at United Supermarkets Arena.

“I would’ve made yesterday’s decision 10 billion times over.

I would have,” she added.

The “Choosin’ Texas” hitmaker — her single holds the record for the most weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — continued to address the situation for a couple more minutes before launching into her song “Loving Life Again.” Langley told the crowd, “While I’m grateful to get to do what I do, it’s not the most important thing in this life.

The most important thing in this life is the people around you that love you, and that are there for you no matter what.

The most important thing in this life is making sure you wake up every day and feel like, you know what, I’m good today.
