Kid Rock was greeted with applause from the audience when he took the stage with Bon Jovi’s David Bryan, according to a video posted to YouTube by an attendee. About a minute into performing Creedence Clearwater Revival’s ” Proud Mary” with a female singer, Kid Rock began clapping along to the beat and urging the crowd to follow suit.
The audience’s lack of enthusiasm caused him to react strongly, saying that if they did not clap, he would not sing anymore. The audience cheered more enthusiastically, but after a while the excitement died down. Kid Rock immediately stopped performing and angrily said: “You guys are not clapping? I’m leaving!”. The 54-year-old artist immediately left the stage, leaving David Bryan and the other members of the band in shock.
