Ronnie Radke calls out 'entitled, spoiled & parasocial' fans on show cancellations

Falling In Reverse lead man Ronnie Radke recently hit out at a fan when asked why one of the band's European shows had been canceled during a livestream.

For some context, a few weeks back, Falling In Reverse canceled 3 of their "The Popular Monstour II: World Domination" European shows. At the time, the band took to their Instagram stories to announce the update, writing:

"Due to production related logistical issues, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the following shows:

16 NOV- WURZDURG, DE
23 NOV- BUDAPEST, HU
28 NOV-TILBURG, NL

Refunds for tickets and VIP upgrades are available at point of purchase.

A second show in Prague has been added on 28 Nov. Tickets are on sale now at Fallinginreverse.com

Additionally, the band also canceled two shows in Vienna and Prague that were scheduled for yesterday, November 26th, and tomorrow, November 28th, just the days before they were to take place. The Prague show was seemingly lined up after the Tilburg, NL date scheduled for the same day was already shelved.

On a livestream, Radke was asked about the canceled show in Vienna, and Radke made his feelings clear about fans' heated reactions to the cancelations.

Radke responded with the following transcribed by ThePRP from the stream:

'Why did you cancel the show in Vienna?'

Listen, you guys never understand what it's like touring across the country, exhausted and tired. We didn't cancel the show. Shut the f*ck up Wednesday. You can f*cking get the f*ck out of my stream. Shame on you for coming to my stream. You don't know why. You guys are just f*cking fans. You don't understand anything to do with it. You don't understand why shows get canceled. Get fhe f*ck out of here, you f*cking c*nt. f*ck you. Ban this bitch. I will. I'll just ban her.

People don't understand. You guys just get f*cking mad because you're not you can't see your favorite singer. You don't understand what f*cking venues do. There's a whole f*cking laundry list of things, of reasons why shows get canceled, guys. It's not like 'I don't feel so good.'

Or even, even then. If someone doesn't feel good, you guys still f*cking berate us. When somebody's sick and they have to cancel, you guys still f*cking berate everyone. So go, f*ck yourself. f*ck you. I f*cking hate fans like that. You're not a f*cking fan. You're entitled, spoiled little f*cking brat. Go, f*ck off. f*ck you.

I'm dead serious. I can't stand that. 'Wah, wah, we didn't get to go see our favorite singer perform.' You have no idea how this shit f*cking works. You think people just cancel shows to cancel? Yeah, some people do. You know some people do do that. Who cares?

Okay, it's f*cking… it doesn't… We don't, You don't need an explanation on why we canceled the show. Just know that it's probably for a f*cking important reason. So go f*ck off anyway.

Welcome to the stream, guys, with your f*cking parasocial relationships, thinking that you have any sort of true connection to f*cking, to, to the person, you know, the band member.

'You owe us an explanation.' I don't owe you sh*t. You understand. if a show gets canceled, know it's for an important reason. You don't understand. There's safety things, there's there's reasons for… there's people's personal health, there's safety issues that happen.

There's literally so many laundry list of things that are potentially at play here. It's not just, you know what? 'I don't want to play Vienna. Cancel it.' f*ck these people. That's not how this works. You understand?

"Wah! I didn't get to see my f*cking favorite band play!' You know what I mean? Like, that's that's how you sound. You just make the band members not like you. You understand? So stop being a spoiled little brat and f*cking [ya] gotta suck it up anyway. You guys don't understand. You just don't get it.

You know what? Rest of the tour is canceled. I don't feel like playing. This isn't… I'm not Playboy Cardi, okay? We don't… Not Axl Rose, we're not doing that. You understand. There's reasons. We have reasons to believe that Vienna fans are soft as shit. That's the reason why we're not playing. Just kidding. Anyway, I'm just kidding. I'm just joking about that.

But hey, shows get canceled, man. Motherf*cker, Bad Omens canceled an entire Europe tour because his mental health. I don't see any you guys f*cking getting mad at him. You understand? Go eat a f*cking Vienna sausage and shut the f*ck up."
