Dierks Bentley Is Turning His Sorrow Into Smiles Patrick Knight Oct 5, 2017, 8:17 AM Share Dierks Bentley is trying, like all our country stars, to make the best out of the awful tragedy in Las Vegas. He admits he hasn’t smiled in days but did yesterday by helping to give blood. First smile in two days thanks to being around other donors and great people @americanredcross #redcross @fiddlindan. I haven’t really been able to function at all since the shooting. such deep sorrow. sadness. heavy and dark. My relationship with country music fans, as well as my band and my crew’s relationship with them, is something we all cherish so deeply. some of those friendships have been forged for well over a decade. my heart breaks over and over again for all those fans in Las Vegas and their families.
