Kid Rock: 'Festival bosses lied about real reason for scrapped show'


Kid Rock has slammed a British rock festival for telling fans he cancelled his scheduled headlining appearance because he was suffering from dehydration.

Details emerged stating Kid Rock was suffering from stomach cramps and dehydration and was kept in hospital overnight for observation.

But Rock, real name Rob (BOB) ert Ritchie, has denounced festival bosses' statements as lies - insisting he pulled the show after promoters failed to provide his band with adequate backstage perks.

He tells Daily Star newspaper, "They (festival bosses) treated me like (edit: crud). 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."
