Jason Aldean's moving rendition of I Won't Back Down on Saturday Night Live will soon be raising money to help victims of the Las Vegas shooting. Aldean's representative says all proceeds will be donated to the Direct Impact Fund dedicated to victims of the tragedy. Aldean was performing at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on Oct. 2 when a gunman fired on the crowd from a hotel room, killing 58 people. The country star made his first public performance on SNL five days later and sang the Tom Petty song. It was in part a tribute to the late rocker, who died that week, but also a show of resiliency in the face of tragedy.
