(hennemusic) The Nickelback issues at the NFL game in Detroit rock city this past week turned out to be a non-issue, as the band forged ahead with its NFL halftime show at the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving game.An alleged Lions fan started a petition to ask the Lions to change the halftime entertainment, which made headlines across the country.
Turns out the guy who initiated the petition had an ulterior motive: to find a way to get his friend to play the gig, Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger told the CBC's George Stroumboulopoulos. "There is an individual, who is a local artist," Chad explains. "'Artist' wanted to play the halftime show. So the guy who started the petition has something to do with [this Artist], and thought to himself, 'how do I get my buddy to be able to play the halftime show. I will start a petition.'" more on this story
