According to an affidavit reviewed by multiple sources, Zimmerman was scheduled to perform at the resort on May 27 but canceled the show due to alleged intoxication. The incident began during a sound check when Zimmerman reportedly appeared inebriated and volatile, smashing a guitar, throwing cymbals, kicking a drum set, pushing a guitarist, and spitting toward a security officer.
After canceling his concert, Zimmerman returned to his hotel room where he allegedly caused significant damage. The affidavit details that the singer stumbled out of an SUV, lost a shoe, and struggled to keep his balance as members of his entourage guided him inside. The damage included a television, phone, coffee table, two chairs, a hole in one wall, damage to several others, stains on the carpet, and two missing chairs.
Zimmerman has since issued an apology through his representative, expressing deep regret for his actions and taking full accountability. He acknowledged the disappointment caused to fans who bought tickets and showed up expecting a performance. Zimmerman also mentioned that he is committed to doing the work necessary to learn and grow from this experience.
