Around 3 p.m., Zimmerman and his entourage took a white SUV back to the hotel. Upon arrival, police claimed Zimmerman, his security officer and four men exited the vehicle. "They stood in a group smoking a shared cigarette, and Mr. Zimmerman was intentionally burning other members of the band with the cigarette," the affidavit said. "The band members did not appear to mind and were laughing." The group headed to Zimmerman's assigned hotel room. At 4:20 p.m., Zimmerman and his entourage emerged to head to the amphitheater for soundcheck. "Sandia security advised that Mr. Zimmerman appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and was very angry with his band and manager," the affidavit claimed. At one point, Zimmerman exited the SUV on the way to soundcheck and was followed by his personal security. According to a police affidavit, Bailey Zimmerman spent the day golfing before allegedly burning bandmates with a cigarette, acting erratically backstage, and disrupting a soundcheck by throwing microphones and musical equipment.

The "Fall In Love" singer arrived back at the resort around 4:49 p.m. The affidavit claimed he stumbled out of an SUV, headed for the wrong door, lost a shoe and struggled to keep his balance as members of his entourage guided him inside. With blood visible on one knee, Zimmerman allegedly staggered through the hotel, nearly crashing to the floor multiple times before making it back to his suite. The singer ended up canceling his concert, claiming he had "not been feeling well." "Y’all know there’s nothing I love more than getting out on the road and playing these shows for you," he wrote on Instagram. "So it’s so hard for me to have to say this, but I have to reschedule tonight’s (5/27) and Saturday’s (5/30) shows. "I have not been feeling well and have tried to power through, but I’m not able to give you all the show you deserve. I hate letting y’all down and was really looking forward to these shows, but I gotta take care of myself so I can get back out there stronger," he continued.
