Kid Rock overcame neck issues on Monday to perform at a lakeside campaign rally for President Donald Trump in Harris Township, Michigan.
The show: The event was held on a floating stage in the Clinton River as a crowd spilled into the street outside the sold-out Bumpers Landing Boat Club venue.
- Some Trump supporters watched from boats in the marina.
Kid Rock, real name Robert James Ritchie, revealed in an Instagram post late Monday that he received a cortisone shot before taking the stage to treat neck injuries he’s been battling for years.
- The “American Bad Ass” rocker said there was “NO WAY” he was backing out of the event.”
- “Would make sense to cancel my appearance, but NO WAY! I will be there and will give it everything I have this evening,” he said.
- That is how important getting POTUS re-elected is too me and I could care less about the continuous attacks from the left wing media, etc, that have been going on for over 4 years now.”
Joining Kid Rock at the “Make America Great Again!” rally were the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., and senior adviser Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Rock star: Trump Jr. vowed on-stage that his father would “win in Michigan,” a key swing state, earning rock-concert like cheers from the crowd.
- Even in his absence, though, the president was the star of the show.
- “I love him. I love his ways, he does what he says he’s gonna do,” rally attendee Tom Kennedy told WDIV-TV.
- “He don’t talk right but nobody does. I could actually sit down with Donald Trump right now and have a beer and he wouldn’t make me feel uncomfortable.”
