“With the announcement of Shinedown’s new single, album and tour, frontman Brent Smith did an interview with Rolling Stone and was asked about their decision to drop off Kid Rock’s “Rock The Country” festival tour. Originally Shinedown was set to play the Anderson, SC date, but they dropped off because they didn’t want to “participate in something we believe will create further division.” Shortly after, that entire date of the tour was canceled. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Smith further addressed the decision saying: “We saw infighting that we had never seen before, and for us, it was our job to diffuse it. There were certain people that were not happy about [pulling back.] I will say that there was an overwhelming amount of people that agreed with the decision.… You’re entitled to your opinion 1,000 percent in this country, and that’s one of the beautiful things about it.” (Rolling Stone)
