In a recent concert at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, country music star Eric Church dedicated his 2014 hit "That's Damn Rock & Roll" to his wife, Katherine. However, this gesture did not go over well with his spouse.
According to Church, he was "kind of caught up in the moment" and wanted to call out his wife and their two sons during the show. But when he mentioned the first few lines of the song, which reference "a needle in a vein," "backstage sex," and "lines of cocaine," Katherine was furious.
"She goes, 'There's 30 songs you could have dedicated to me, but those first three lines alone,'" Church recalled. "'That's f----- up.'" The crowd laughed, but the Grammy-nominated artist has continued to play the song at every show since, despite his wife's disapproval.
"That's Damn Rock & Roll" appeared on Church's 2014 album The Outsiders, which topped the Billboard 200 chart. The 48-year-old singer is currently in the midst of his Free the Machine Tour, which runs through mid-November. His latest album, Evangeline vs. the Machine, was released in May.
