A man who went missing from Luke Bryan's bar in Nashville has been spotted on CCTV.

After he left at around 9.45pm, Strain reportedly told his friends that he would walk back to their hotel, located around five blocks away, and meet them there.
But his friends said that Riley never turned up at the hotel, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Police have described Riley as being 6ft 5, weighing 160lbs, and having blonde hair and blue eyes.

Nashville Police Department have since posted some CCTV footage from later in the evening.
Police claim that the footage shows Riley alone and stumbling around.
So far, police efforts to locate Riley, including deploying a helicopter, have not located him.
Riley's disappearance has started to gain national attention, with billboards reportedly going up in Nashville raising awareness of his disappearance.
The 22-year-old is a student at the University of Missouri and had been visiting Nashville with group Delta Chi.
