THE BEAST

According to   The Pulse Of Radio ,   Kid Rock   admitted in an interview with   Howard Stern   what many suspected all along: he's not running for the U.S. Senate seat in Michigan and the whole fake campaign — including concerts resembling rallies, a   KidRockForSenate   web site and political speeches — was a publicity stunt for his upcoming studio album.

Rock   told   Stern : "Fuck no, I'm not running for Senate. Are you kidding me? Who couldn't figure that out? I'm releasing a new album on November 3rd. I'm going on tour too. Are you fucking shitting me?"

Apparently a number of   Rock 's supporters thought the campaign was more than just fake news, even speculating on a   Rock   run at the White House down the line.

The singer said that staging the fake campaign was "the worst advice that I ever gave myself," but added, "It's been the most creative thing I've ever done, and I got to see everybody's true colors."

Rock   also told   Stern   that he remains a supporter of   Donald Trump , although he admitted that the former reality show star's "messaging is not the best."

As for his new album, it's called   "Sweet Southern Sugar"   and it will be out November 3, as   Rock   revealed. He also announced the dates for his   "Greatest Show On Earth"   2018 tour. Via Blabbermouth
