On Thursday and Friday (Dec. 12-13), country breakthrough Luke Combs returned to his adopted home of Nashville to wrap up his lengthy Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour with two sold-out shows at Bridgestone Arena. After spending six months on the road in support of his latest LP, What You See Is What You Get, the 29-year-old showed off his staying power by entertaining thousands during his last shows of the year.
