More Kid Rock
Kid Rock claims he urinated on a sofa belonging to the organiser of the Download Festival after he was treated badly by the event.
Rock was due to perform at the festival in June but pulled out at the last minute. Organisers said at the time that he had been rushed to hospital.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Rock rubbished the festivals explanation, saying he decided not to play after being treated “like a fuck”.
"There was just one trailer for my whole band. We had no water, no bathroom, no rider,” he told the newspaper.
"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."
Instead of performing, Rock said he was wandering the streets of Birmingham “trying to find a good movie to watch.”
