There's no picture in the story but if you are picturing something like the Golden Gate bridge or the Brooklyn bridge - this is more like a 2 lane road bridge spanning a 30' wide river.

“When he and his entourage flew back to Georgia on their private jet, we were like, what happened today,” Malone said. “He probably was sitting in that plane and was like, ‘what a weird place.&#x27;”

The man had spent his entire career constantly asking fellow band members if they should &quot;take it to the bridge&quot;. Someone finally said yes.
