MIKE WENGREN Recalls Proposing To His Now-Ex-Wife During DISTURBED’s 2005 Concert In Wisconsin
DISTURBED drummer Mike Wengren has recalled proposing to his then-girlfriend Tina onstage at the band’s August 2005 concert in Milwaukee, just before the final song, “Stupify”. He said the public proposal was partly a way to answer friends who doubted their relationship because he was often away touring.
Wengren said Tina’s close friends and family were at the concert, and that the pair are now divorced but get on better than they did while married. They share two children. The interview also touched on personal upheaval among DISTURBED members during the making of 2022 album *Divisive*, and on the band’s later releases and anniversary tour.
