As Ultimate Classic Rock reports, Church and his band performed at the Pine Knob Music Theatre on Friday night, and they took the opportunity to tribute Seger, who actually played a pivotal role early in Church’s career. When Rascal Flatts famously fired Church as their opening act in 2006 after he repeatedly exceeded his allotted time on stage, Seger unexpectedly came to his rescue.
“The next phone call we got was Bob Seger,” Church — wearing a Bob Seger T-shirt — told the audience on Friday night, “and it went something to the effect of, ‘You can’t open for them, but you can open for me,’ so that’s what we did…I would not be here at all if it weren’t for Bob Seger.”
