Luke used the flag in earlier pictures and in a 2015 music video for Ryan Upchurch’s model of his track “Can I get an outlaw”.
“There is no excuse for those images. “I feel, as a youthful man, that was a picture that I related to imply one thing else. And as I’ve grown in my time as an artist, and because the world has modified drastically within the final 5 to seven years (when the photographs have been created), I’m now conscious how painful that picture might be to another person. I might by no means need to be related to one thing that brings a lot damage to another person,” Like advised at a Country Radio Seminar, in keeping with eonline.com.
