The country crooner had an onstage meltdown in front of the crowd after the sound from his guitar appeared to cut out in the middle of him playing a song.
"Is my guitar still on? I think they cut me off. I don't hear my guitar anymore," he could be heard saying in videos of his performance. "Is anyone awake? I don't hear it. Do y'all hear it? Is anyone back there? Can somebody turn my guitar back on? We're going to sing a bit more."
After the audio didn't improve, Billy Ray grew angry, as he declared: "Y'all want me to sing more or you just want me to get the h--- off the stage? I don't give a d---."

"I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly but I think I have a pretty good idea & I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help. You know how to reach me. Till that day comes I will continue to pray for you," Billy Ray's son pleaded.
