Ronnie Radke, the ever-controversial, eyeliner-wielding frontman of Falling In Reverse, is back in the headlines—and no, it’s not for tossing a mic stand this time. The U.K. has denied Radke a visa (again), citing his 2008 prison stint, effectively canceling the band’s highly anticipated U.K. tour. Naturally, Ronnie didn’t just sit quietly and sip tea. Instead, he took to TikTok to, well, go full Ronnie on everyone who dared to celebrate the decision.
According to Radke, this wasn’t just another tour; it was practically a “Taylor Swift-level” event (his words, not ours), with 75,000 tickets sold. He called out critics with his signature fiery sarcasm, saying, “You’re celebrating the kids in my DMs with cancer that were excited to see me—now they can’t. That’s what you’re celebrating.” Always the dramatist, Radke reminded the U.K. that denying him entry wasn’t just ruining dreams; it was an “economic disaster,” citing all the flights, hotels, and canceled gigs now left in limbo. Guess Brexit wasn’t chaotic enough—might as well add some Falling In Reverse drama to the mix.
In classic Radke fashion, he didn’t shy away from comparisons to other artists like Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg, who have also faced visa bans. “It’s not personal, guys,” he quipped. “They changed the laws, and here we are.” But being sidelined hasn’t stopped Radke from making lemonade out of legal lemons. He launched a new t-shirt design, declaring himself the “King of the Music Scene,” with all proceeds going to a U.K. prison reform charity. If there’s one thing Ronnie’s great at—aside from stirring controversy—it’s selling merch.
Meanwhile, Radke’s grudge list grew longer as he blasted Austria’s Nova Rock festival for dropping the band due to his “personality.” In response, he told fans to “chill out and have a Vienna sausage,” because why not throw in some culinary shade while he’s at it?
The visa ban might be a setback, but Falling In Reverse isn’t letting it derail their momentum. Their Popular Monster album is riding high, topping Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart, and the band’s ‘Popular Mons(Tour)’ is still slated to hit Australia in March 2025. For now, U.K. fans will have to wait for their next dose of live chaos—or settle for a t-shirt.
