Celebrity (and not so) Deaths 2024 onwards

Another 8 posts and still not him.

You’re gonna need to be a bit more specific. The list of welcomed obituaries is (unfortunately) long. However, I can somewhat safely guess who you’re referring too.

Here Without You and When I’m Gone were both big here.
The former iirc went Platinum and would have been in the top 2-3 songs on a lot of the mainstream radio stations.

Also, ā– ā– ā– ā–  cancer.

Huh… well, there you go. Just gave them both a quick listen. Have heard the first one, but never knew it was them. Always thought it was Creed or Nickelback or Live or another of those dull, midpaced acts who rode in as the last remaining dregs of ā€œgrungeā€ā€¦

The second one I’ve honestly never heard before, but it certainly sounds like a Dribble M staple.

I just looked it up and (somewhat surprisingly) Here Without You actually outperformed Kryptonite here.
The band as a whole has also done a far bit of charity fundraising over the years as well.

I don’t follow baseball, but I’d imagine this would be like a former NHL or NBA player passing.

I think they performed at Trump’s first inauguration cos the only other act under 70 willing to do so was Kid Rock, and probably cos it suited trumps ego to have someone sing about superman at his party. They copped a lot of backlash for it and put out some statement saying how they were acting in respect of the office of the president or something like that. Not sure if they full MAGAed after that.

I unironically liked Superman as a fun dumb rock song, though I never had to endure the sort of aversion therapy towards it that you did!

Who in the actual ā– ā– ā– ā–  is kid Rock even?

I’mguessing someone who is a) American, b) not a kid; and c) doesn’t do Rock (at least apart from the watered down US middle-of-the-road style).

His biggest ā€œhitā€ is just a stupid mash up of Sweet Home Alabama and Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London. Typical of most ā€œmusiciansā€ these days; all they can do is rehash old songs.

hes had some good songs. just a matter of taste obviously. he had a good duet with sheryl crow and his song cowboy was played quite often in the earlier 2000’s.

A full-blown anti-vaxxing, MAGA-supporting, misogynist tossbag.

Nothing more needs to be said. His talentless ā€œmusicā€ is irrelevant really…

I’m no MAGA guy but I do love Kid Rock’s Devil Without A Cause album. Mainly because Jeff Jarrett’s entrance music was ā€˜Cowboy’. One of the greatest walk out tunes.

Also, Cowboy got used heavily in Angel fanvids.

If only he played the sax :ok_hand:

I preferred Bawitaba myself, but I get it.

serious? dont be a ā– ā– ā– ā– 

Kid Rock is just another name for Epstein Island.
