By .
Morgan Wallen is being welcomed back into the country music fold, or so it would seem.
The singer, 28, who in February was caught on camera yelling the N-word, joined pals Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia LineтАЩs Tyler Hubbard onstage at BryanтАЩs concert in Nashville on Friday night.
тАЬSo a really good friend of mine is here backstage,тАЭ Aldean told the sold out crowd. тАЬDo I need another tequila shot to get through this?тАЭ Bryan added, per Billboard.

Wallen then walked onstage with his guitar and took tequila shots with the three country singers. Before performing his hit, тАЬMore Than My Hometown,тАЭ he told the concert-goers, тАЬThis is a song about staying true to yourself, and thatтАЩs been a really hard thing for me to do lately, but here I am.тАЭ Wallen also performed his song, тАЬWhiskey Glasses.тАЭ
The singer publicly apologized in a statement and in a video shortly after the video of him using the racial slur was released by TMZ┬аearlier this year.
Wallen went┬аon тАЬGood Morning AmericaтАЭ on July 24 and spoke to Michael Strahan about the incident, attempting to explain why he used the hateful word.

тАЬI was around some of my friends, and we we say dumb stuff together,тАЭ Wallen told Strahan. тАЬAnd it was тАФ in our minds, itтАЩs playful тАж that sounds ignorant, but it тАФ thatтАЩs really where it came from тАж and itтАЩs wrong.тАЭ
Wallen checked himself into a 30-day rehab program after the video went public. Wallen also told Strahan that his uttering the N-word occurred at the end of a 72-hour bender that led him to question whether he had a drinking problem.
