Kid Rock Posts Curse-Laden Response to Angry Arkansas Fans

Kid Rock believes the show must go on. The Detroit rocker decided not to cancel a concert at the Verizon Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, last week, in spite of a heavy storm that covered the ground -- and the roads -- with more than six inches of snow. His decision was applauded by some who braved the treacherous weather to attend the concert, but garnered outrage from those who had purchased tickets but were unable to navigate the dangerous conditions. Before hitting the stage on February 9, Rock took to his website to reply to those who accused the star of cheating them out of their money by not postponing the gig.

"It's this simple," he wrote. "If you bought tix to tonight's show and can't make it, YOU WILL BE GETTING A REFUND, STRAIGHT OUT OF MY POCKET. I've never ripped any of my fans off, EVER!!! I have also NEVER missed a show. I know there are people who drove here from Memphis and Oklahoma, been in their cars all day driving and dealing with this s----y weather, the same as me and my band have the WHOLE TOUR. You so called 'fans' on my website bitching and moaning and saying I'm greedy, can GO F--- YOURSELVES, plain and simple. Throw out my CDs and lose my number. I don't want drama kings and queens like y'all anywhere around myself, band, crew, family or my fans."

After openly expressing his frustration, he was also equally forthcoming with his gratitude toward those who were more compassionate about the difficult situation, writing, "Thank you to the real fans who not only understand my situation but defended me. It's not easy to tour in these conditions and also be stuck on the road with a teenage son at home and in high school. I make a lot of money, no question, but I've never ripped anyone off to do it. I have sacrificed a lot to live this dream and play music for all of you. I wouldn't trade it for the world, but the fact remains. To the people who made it to tonight's show, I WON'T LET YOU DOWN. Now, time to make a set list and get ready to ROCK. Hope everyone traveling gets here safe!!"

The singer-songwriter is playing songs from his new album, 'Born Free,' as he travels for much of the next few months. His show in Pensacola, Fla. tonight (February 14), will be followed by stops in Charleston, S.C., and Nashville. See Kid Rock's tour itinerary here.
