Justin Moore Suffers Severe Knee Injury After Skiing Accident, But He’s Not Slowing Down

Justin Moore has a full slate of shows lined up around the country, but fans have been noticing that he is performing with a brace on his leg and walking with a bad limp.

Justin Moore Suffers Severe Knee Injury While Skiing

The "Times Ticking" singer was a guest on Country Countdown USA where he detailed what happened to him. He incurred an injury while out on the slopes with his family on vacation.

"We just got back from skiing in Aspen, where I tore my MCL like an idiot. It didn’t require surgery," Moore explains. "So that’s good news."

Fans at Moore's concerts have noticed the giant brace on his leg so he has had to address the injury both on stage and online for his fans.

Moore, his wife, and their four kids are avid skiers, and he actually considers himself pretty skilled on the slopes. But this time, things didn’t go as planned.

"We’ve been taking the kids skiing for spring break for ten years. I was skiing the best I have in years. I was skiing with good skiers. I kept up with them for 4-5 runs," he describes. "We went through this trick part. Then my knee went in one direction, and the rest of my leg went in the other. I knew from playing sports that it wasn’t good."
