He was just homesick. Simple as that.
Morgan Wallen has broken his silence on why he made his abrupt exit at the end of “Saturday Night Live” in March.
When the 31-year-old country sensation appeared on the podcast “Sundae Conversations, host Caleb Pressley asked him, “Seriously, ‘SNL,’ did they make you mad?”
“Neo, no, I was just ready to go home,” said Wallen, who skipped the usual fraternizing with the cast at the end of the March 30 show. It was the second time he was a musical guest on the live sketch act series.
“I been there all week,” he said about the show’s typical rehearsal schedule ahead of the live Saturday show.
Wallen stood next to host Mikey Madison as she closed out the show with the rest of the cast behind them.
The “Whiskey Glasses” singer then leaned over to Madison, 26, whispered something to her, gave her a one-armed hug and walked off the stage as everyone else celebrated completing another episode.
Following his unexplained exit, Wallen skipped the after-party and posted a photo of a private plane on his Instagram Story with the caption, “Get me to God’s country.”
