Wow, completely unexpected. I don't really wanna speculate on the unsaid things there but I hope they can both move on from this.
Not a good week for the frontmen of the two bands I saw last November on back-to-back nights (Foo Fighters/Frank).
Very stoked on this, even if I'm sure those shows aren't coming anywhere near me. Those albums deserve a remaster
It was a post from Jess, Frank's wife, announcing they were going to be ending their marriage due to his behavior during and after his last tour.

That song he played live about being proud to be an asshole cheater was dogshit. It was the most mean-spirited thing I think I've ever heard. Love his music (some of it) but god damn, frank is an asshole.
as someone who used to be a huge fan of his, I'm curious what song you are referring to here - do you know what it was called?
It's called Start Over and it's an incredibly cruel song he wrote about cheating on his ex wife. I wasn't invested in their relationship but even so, it has to be one of his worst songs for just how shitty it is.
I just think some things are sometimes best left unsaid. It often feels like he's can't help himself though.
TL;DR: 'I cheated on my ex-wife and I don't feel any remorse about it whatsoever' Fuck off, man. In the bin.
Yeah, he added exactly zero context and just confirmed that he's a complete ass, a thing we didn't need him to confirm. I think I'm going to need to take a long break from his music because what a gross guy.
My god man. If you’re going to proudly cheat on your wife I just don’t know if THIS is the post to make about it.
Wild how much he’s torpedoed his career for me. Zero interest in him anymore, and have no desire to revisit his past music. The whole Mongol Horde/Koji thing was the start of the cracks showing who he really was and after that it’s been full mask off
Shoutout Koji for exposing this absolute fucking fraud. I almost paid actual money to see him and I'm so glad I didn't.
