Matchbox 20 is canceling a show at Cheyenne Frontier Days which bills itself as the world's biggest outdoor rodeo, over their newfound concern for the animals involved. Did they not know what a rodeo was?
Lead singer Rob Thomas and his wife, Marisol, posted this statement on the band's website: "We ask that (fans) please understand that it would be impossible for us to put ourselves in the position of making money from what we believe to be the mistreatment of animals."
But get this: the band is still scheduled to perform at the North Dakota State Fair,which also includes rodeo events. They'll figure it out eventually.
