American singer and songwriter Kid Rock has decided
to quit  performing at certain venues, days after announcing his upcoming tour, ‘Bad
Reputation’. The musician took to his official Facebook handle this week to declare that
he won’t perform at locations that mandate Covid-19 masks or inoculation.

According to New York Post, Kid Rock stated, “there’s been a lot of talk about vaccine mandates
and venues. People saying, ‘I’m not going to that venue because of the vaccine
mandate’ and this, that and the other. Trust me, we’ve done all our research on
this and the consensus says that all this is going to be done, if there are any
at these venues, I’m not aware of any, but if there are any, they’re going to
be gone by the time we get to your city. If they’re not, trust me, you don’t
have to worry. You’ll be getting your money back because I won’t be showing up
either.”

The 51-year-old ‘All Summer Long’ singer added, “it’s
actually kind of unfortunate. We actually scratched Buffalo, New York off the
list because of that and Toronto, Canada and several other cities we were
looking at. I don’t want to deal with that sh*t either.”

Kid Rock further shared how he had been working on his
album in the studio during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The popular musician also took to the platform to ask his listeners
where they listen to music. This could be related to the recent fiasco between
Spotify and musician Neil Young. Canadian vocalist Joni Mitchell also followed Young’s
footsteps to remove her collection from the music platform.

After discussing
his tour, Kid Rock also released his recent track ‘We The People’ on Tuesday midnight.
The controversial track bashes US President Joe Biden, Dr Anthony Fauci, and
Covid-19 mandates and restrictions.

A lyric from
the track states, “wear your mask, take your pills / now a whole generation’s
mentally ill!” 

It also includes, “but COVID’s near, it’s coming to
town, we gotta act quick, shut our borders down / Joe Biden does, the media
embraces, Big Don does it and they call him racist.”
