Jake Owen Rips Pants On Stage, Finishes Set Shirtless [VIDEO]

Jaclyn Graves — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:56:25 +0000

Ladies, this is not a dream... I have a video of Jake Owen singing shirtless! Yes, your Monday just turned into a Friday!

This past weekend at a show in Charleston, Jake's pants ripped...on stage! As he tweeted, he was underwear-less. Thanks to some quick thinking from his crew, they just taped his shirt up around his, ummm, problem area and let him finish his set! I knew if I was patient enough, visual evidence was come up... boy was I right!

Check out this video of Jake finishing his set, shirtless!
