Foreigner Ignoring Politics on Kid Rock Tour

Foreigner is teaming up with Kid Rock  and Grand Funk Railroad for a U.S. tour this spring and summer.

In a new interview, Foreigner bassist Jeff Pilson was asked about Foreigner fans who are reluctant to come to the show because of Kid Rock’s involvement.

Pilson explained:

“If they’re not coming because of Kid Rock, if it’s musically oriented, well, I would say listen to Kid Rock; he’s a great artist. I mean, yes, he’s a rapper and maybe some people don’t like rapping, but there are definitely songs in there as well, And his band is great, and the audience is very enthusiastic. It makes for a great show. If you’re politically against Kid Rock, I guess that’s one thing, but, hey, listen, we’re not letting politics get in the way. We’re all getting up there in very friendly terms and just make it a great rock show.” 

Pilson previously called President Donald Trump was “a dangerous man” whose vitriolic and divisive rhetoric could ignite another American civil war.

Kid Rock is a vocal Trump supporter, who recently released a profanity-laced single that bashes President Joe Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
