When Jelly Roll started, he spent 10 years covering Nickelback songs. Think about that for a minute. That is a long time. Then, at the Stagecoach Festival in April 2024, the lead singer of Nickelback, Chad Kroeger, walked onto the stage. Jelly Roll was shocked. He was excited to the point of disbelief. The two stars sang Nickelback’s famous hit, “Rockstar,” together for a huge crowd.
The video shows the pure happiness on Jelly Roll’s face. He is a significant country rock star now, but he was humbled entirely on stage. He kept looking at Chad Kroeger like he was a little kid who just got the best toy ever. It shows that even the most prominent stars have people they look up to. Both singers had a lot of energy, sharing the microphone and jumping around.
Just keeps getting cooler and cooler.
Fans loved seeing this moment come true for Jelly Roll. One person said he was “fangirl-ing and letting Chad take over.” Another viewer mentioned, “You could tell the absolute Joy on his face seeing Chad. He look like a kid in a candy store.” Many fans now want the singers to make a new song together soon.
The song they sang, “Rockstar,” is one of Nickelback’s most famous songs. It was first released in 2005 on their album All the Right Reasons. The song is a fun joke about wanting a rich, easy life, complete with houses and money. The lyrics talk about all the fancy things a fake rockstar would wish to, like a “credit card that’s got no limit.”
The original song has a special touch because Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top speaks a few words between the main singing parts. This song became a massive hit for Nickelback after its 2007 re-release. The collaboration with Jelly Roll proves that this song about fame remains popular today.
Jelly Roll’s journey shows that dreams can come true when you work hard. He always sings with so much emotion and honesty. He has a way of telling his life story that makes his fans feel like they are right there with him. You can keep up with his fantastic music journey.
