CKY Drummer: $200 for a photo? Buy me a beer!

US rock band CKY cancelled a scheduled fan meet-and-greet in Brisbane after drummer Jess Margera voiced his dismay over the $200 price point. Margera, brother of Jackass star Bam Margera, took to social media to express his surprise at the cost for a photo opportunity with him, singer Chad I Ginsberg, and bassist Mike Leon.

He stated he was unaware of the pricing and proposed fans buy him a beer for a picture instead. The band subsequently decided to scrap the event entirely, refunding all attendees. Margera encouraged fans to spend their money on merchandise and the music, not on his ego.
