## Key points

- Chad Kroeger says being recognised can make everyday errands awkward.
- Fame can bring restaurant perks but may raise contractor bills.
- Nickelback have announced a 2027 tour.

## Summary

Nickelback’s members described fame as a mixed experience, with frontman Chad Kroeger saying his recognisable face makes it harder to go unnoticed. In an interview with Virgin Radio UK, the band discussed how public attention can bring enjoyable perks but also intrude on ordinary activities.

Kroeger recalled being recognised while shopping despite wearing a hat, and said fame can help with restaurant bookings while sometimes being a nuisance. Guitarist Ryan Peake said he can more easily keep a low profile, though a fan recognised him at a Slayer show; drummer Daniel Adair said contractors may charge more once they learn who he is. Bassist Mike Kroeger said he does not consider himself famous, and the band has announced a 2027 “Everything Under The Sun” tour.
