Country music singer Gavin Adcock rallied his audience to chant the name of Charlie Kirk during a concert this week, days after the Turning Point USA founder was assassinated at an event in Utah.
Videos posted online show a shirtless Adcock waving an American flag and shouting “Charlie Kirk!” before the crowd joined in the chant.
“Jesus loves every single one of you in this place tonight. Charlie Kirk’s with Jesus,” the “Last One to Know” singer said. “I want y’all to say some thoughts and prayers tonight before you go to sleep – when you lay down by yourself or with your loved one, say some prayers for someone who needs it.”

Reports early Friday revealed the name of the suspect believed to have assassinated conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
President Trump announced Friday that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination was turned in by his father. Law enforcement sources told the New York Post the suspect is Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident.
“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” during a live interview at the cable giant’s Manhattan studio, saying he heard just minutes before his 8 a.m. interview.
“Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” the president said, who then revealed it was the suspect’s dad who relayed it through “a minister who was involved with law enforcement,” the president added.
Kirk, 32, the Turning Point USA co-founder and father of two, had just responded to a question about mass shootings by transgender individuals at the outdoor campus event in Orem when he was struck by a single round. He was pronounced dead around an hour later at an area hospital.
