Kid Rock is still alive and active in music and business, and nothing has “happened” to him in the sense of a recent death or retirement.
Recent career activity
Kid Rock announced a short arena tour for spring 2025, with seven Midwest dates in March and April, promoted as high‑energy shows mixing his classic songs with newer material. He has also talked about having dozens of new tracks ready and has hinted at releasing more music, including the idea of a possible gospel‑oriented project.
Business and side projects
In 2025 he has continued branching into hospitality, including a new Nashville restaurant called The Detroit Cowboy, positioned as a bold, personality‑driven venue tied to his brand. These ventures build on his long‑running strategy of extending his image beyond records and touring.
Controversies and headlines
Kid Rock remains politically outspoken and closely aligned with Donald Trump, and his 2025 arena run was explicitly framed as a celebration of Trump’s presidential victory and the MAGA movement. He has also continued to draw controversy for behavior onstage, such as a widely discussed incident where he reportedly cut a performance short after getting upset with a crowd that he felt was not reacting enthusiastically enough.
If you meant something more specific (for example, health, legal trouble, or a particular rumor), saying what you heard or when you heard it would make it possible to give a more focused answer.
