During a recent livestream, Radke addressed the canceled show in Vienna, expressing his frustration with fans’ intense reactions to the cancellations.
He said (as transcribed by ThePRP):
‘Why did you cancel the show in Vienna?’
Listen, you guys never understand what it’s like touring across the country, exhausted and tired. We didn’t cancel the show. Shut the f*ck up Wednesday. You can f**king get the f**k out of my stream. Shame on you for coming to my stream. You don’t know why. You guys are just f**king fans. You don’t understand anything to do with it. You don’t understand why shows get canceled. Get fhe f**k out of here, you f**king c*nt. f**k you. Ban this b*tch. I will. I’ll just ban her.
People don’t understand. You guys just get f**king mad because you’re not you can’t see your favorite singer. You don’t understand what f**king venues do. There’s a whole f**king laundry list of things, of reasons why shows get canceled, guys. It’s not like ‘I don’t feel so good.’
Or even, even then. If someone doesn’t feel good, you guys still f*cking berate us. When somebody’s sick and they have to cancel, you guys still f**king berate everyone. So go, f**k yourself. f**k you. I f*cking hate fans like that. You’re not a f**king fan. You’re entitled, spoiled little f**king brat. Go, f**k off. f**k you.
I’m dead serious. I can’t stand that. ‘Wah, wah, we didn’t get to go see our favorite singer perform.’ You have no idea how this s**t f**king works. You think people just cancel shows to cancel? Yeah, some people do. You know some people do do that. Who cares?
Okay, it’s f**king… it doesn’t… We don’t, You don’t need an explanation on why we canceled the show. Just know that it’s probably for a f**king important reason. So go f**k off anyway.
Welcome to the stream, guys, with your f**king parasocial relationships, thinking that you have any sort of true connection to f**king, to, to the person, you know, the band member.
‘You owe us an explanation.’ I don’t owe you s**t. You understand. if a show gets canceled, know it’s for an important reason. You don’t understand. There’s safety things, there’s there’s reasons for… there’s people’s personal health, there’s safety issues that happen.
There’s literally so many laundry list of things that are potentially at play here. It’s not just, you know what? ‘I don’t want to play Vienna. Cancel it.’ f**k these people. That’s not how this works. You understand?
“Wah! I didn’t get to see my f**king favorite band play!’ You know what I mean? Like, that’s that’s how you sound. You just make the band members not like you. You understand? So stop being a spoiled little brat and f**king [ya] gotta suck it up anyway. You guys don’t understand. You just don’t get it.
You know what? Rest of the tour is canceled. I don’t feel like playing. This isn’t… I’m not Playboy Cardi, okay? We don’t… Not Axl Rose, we’re not doing that. You understand. There’s reasons. We have reasons to believe that Vienna fans are soft as s**t. That’s the reason why we’re not playing. Just kidding. Anyway, I’m just kidding. I’m just joking about that.
But hey, shows get canceled, man. Motherf**ker, BAD OMENS canceled an entire Europe tour because his mental health. I don’t see any you guys f**king getting mad at him. You understand? Go eat a f**king Vienna sausage and shut the f**k up.”
