Chad Kroeger Sings Nickelback’s ‘Rockstar’ for Demanding Fan

A video has surfaced online showing a hilarious encounter between Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger and a fan.

In the brief clip (via Spin), the 51-year-old frontman of the Canadian rock band appears to be gambling in a casino when a female fan approaches him with an unwelcome request.

“Chad, can you sing for me one little time?” she asks. An annoyed-sounding Kroeger replies, “What?” before turning around and firing back, “Would you shut the f—k up?”

The fan then repeats the question, and the frontman hesitantly gives in, saying, “Yes, what?” as another person with him amusingly chuckles in the background.

She quickly follows up by asking Kroeger to sing a snippet of Nickelback’s hit song “Rockstar,” which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2007. The track is from the band’s 2005 album, All the Right Reasons.

Kroeger lifts his hand and half-heartedly sings the song’s opening lines, “I’m through with standing in line to clubs I’ll never get in/ It’s like the bottom of the ninth, and I’m never gonna win.”

After finishing, he puts his hand over the camera and with a subtle grin once again requests, “Would you f—k off?”

Nickelback recently teamed up with English rock band Don Broco on a new song, “Nightmare Tripping,” which serves as the title track of the latter’s recently announced album. The project is set for release on March 27 through Fearless Records.

Nickelback’s most recent studio album, Get Rollin’, was released in 2022 and reached No. 30 on the Billboard 200 chart.
