How does Kid Rock still have a career? Who is buying his music? Someone please explain this to me. The middle-aged rapper/rocker was supposed to co-headline the Download Music Festival in June, but pulled out at the last minute. Rock (aka Bob Ritchie) was unimpressed with the conditions backstage, and when the show organizers refused to suplly food and drinks for his crew, he hit the road- but not before leaving a lovely parting gift for the festival’s promoter. CHART-topping hip-hop rocker Kid Rock has revealed the reason he pulled out of this year’s Download Festival – they didn’t give him a big enough caravan. In June organisers of the hard rock festival released a statement claiming he would not be playing after being rushed to hospital. But Kid, 37, says that he wasn’t ill. He told me: “They treated me like f***. There was just one trailer for my whole band. We had no water, no bathroom, no rider. “The final straw was when they wouldn’t give my crew any food or drinks vouchers. “I called the promoter and told him he had two hours to get it sorted or I was out. They did nothing so I visited the promoter’s office, took a piss on his couch and left.” With one of their headliners gone organisers released a statement that read: “We’ve had the curse of Download. “Kid Rock is not very well, we’ve had to rush him to hospital in Nottingham. He apologises to his fans.” But the All Summer Long hitmaker told me: “I was wandering the streets in Birmingham, trying to find a good movie to watch.” Kid has vowed never to play Donnington again. He said: “I’d like to do something like Glastonbury instead next year. That has a much better vibe.” [From the Daily Star] I should point at that Glastonbury was the festival where Amy Winehouse showed up smashed out of her mind and was punching fans. So, yeah, I’m sure that “vibe” fits right in with Rock and his crew. He didn’t get a big enough trailer. Boo hoo. Tell that to some kid playing his heart out to 7 people in a rat-infested dive bar in middle America. As for Kid’s retaliation tactics, need I remind everyone that the guy is 38 years old? I really think being a rock star enables some people to remain 10 years old forever. Note by Celebitchy: I really like Kid Rock’s new single, All Summer Long. And I don’t really agree with MSat that it’s diva-ish to request a decent trailer with water, a toilet and catering. But if this story is true he shouldn’t have lied and said he’s sick, and if did pee on someone’s couch that’s out of hand. http://www.celebitchy.com/13842/kid_rock_is_back_to_his_bad_boy_antics_again_drops_out_of_music_festival/
