Monday marked the first anniversary of one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history.

Jason Aldean, who was on stage when shots were fired on the crowd of concert-goers, shared a photo of the festival logo on Instagram, writing simply: "Thinkin about our Route 91 family today. #vegasstrong."

Jake Owen had just finished his set when bullets rained down from the Mandalay Bay hotel. In a lengthy post on Twitter, he said the victims will "always be in my heart and on my mind."
I will never forget the evening of October 1st, 2017. A year ago today people were loving life. They were singing along. Families and friends. 58 lives were lost and thousands were injured and lives changed forever. You will always be in my heart and on my mind.
