Trace Adkins Checks Into Rehab

Trace Adkins told the world he had been sober for 12 years until he fell off the wagon on a cruise ship gig he was headlining this week. I think his definition would differ from that of the rest of the world, but whatever. What makes this one of the more interesting rehab visits in awhile is that while Trace was on a cruise ship to perform he ended up getting into a fight with a fan. Not just any fan, but a guy who makes a living as an impersonator of Trace. Trace has met the fan before with nothing happening but this time on the cruise was different. Probably because the cruise ship was filled with Trace Adkins fans so they might have given the impersonator a little more attention than Trace liked so they got into a fight. As soon as the ship docked Trace went to rehab. Sounds like the fight Demi Lovato got into with her backup dancer before Demi checked into rehab. At the time she made it sound like her eating disorder caused her to throw a punch. A few years later she admitted the truth. Trace might never admit the truth but this cruise ship ride wasn't the first slip. More like the last straw.

    I would have to drink copious amounts of (non-smelly) mimosas to survive a cruise ship gig.

    Hope he gets well, falling off the wagon after 12 years has to be hard.

    Maybe he was confused because the thought he was seeing double...I loved Trace Adkins back in the day, Every Light In The House is On is a great song and he is one huge hunk of a man. I wish him well

    I keep imagining them fighting on the Love Boat with the theme playing in my head, "Love exciting and new/come aboard, we're expecting you."

    Disappointing.

      Disappointing because it is so true? I grew up east Texas. I know about rednecks because they are my people. Thankfully I escaped before becoming one of them.

    I love Trace Adkins. He was very classy on Celebrity Apprentice.

    Addictions are a lifelong struggle and there will be slips along the way. What's important is to keep trying and it seems like he is by going to rehab. I wish him well.

    @Lucas - I too was born in Texas but don't live there now. I'll take a truck load of real over a truckload of fake each and every day of the week.

    Easy test if you are being derogatory or not: Take the word in question out, and replace it with another word. The N word? Or how about faggot?

    "So a n***** got drunk and got into a fight with another n*****. Huh. Who could have seen that coming?"

      @Mickey-I don't think it matters what you're saying, as soon as you use those 2 words, it becomes derogatory. "So a guy got into a fight with another guy..." is not derogatory.

    2. Lucas7:34 AM

      Ethorne is right.

      And yeah, I was being derogatory. On purpose, even. I still listen to Waylon Jennings, and I have happily eaten squirrel. Let me rephrase this in a way that soothes your delicate ears:

      So one ignorant meathead gets drunk and beats up another (both of whom are quite coincidentally rednecks). Huh. Who could have seen that coming?

      I don't need to apologize for what I said. And I won't. The big, dumb and violent among us are ruining it for everyone. I bet if you asked either participant in this event if they were a redneck they would happily agree.

    I'm not even seeing how the term "redneck" comes anywhere near the term "nigger". One is a joke about a chosen lifestyle (red solo cup, Garth Brooks' "I've Got Friends in Low Places", Honey Booboo) vs a term that was used to describe people who were deemed the lowest of the low due to their skin color.

    A Trace Adkins impersonator? Really? That sounds like a one liner someone would say at a bar to a stranger. In fact, I think I will start saying that, it would make people laugh.

    The saddest thing about this is that his impersonator looks better than him

  20. Sherry10:06 AM

    And maybe the impersonator was doing a better show. Seriously it seems a little odd to have another same performer on a ship working together. Something just odd there.

    More Info: The impersonator was doing karaoke and acting like a jerk and making snide comments during the song to the real Trace Atkins. After his song was over, he walked by and said something to TA. They got into it from there and then Trace hit the guy. (A co-worker is on the ship and sent us an update.) She didn't see Trace actually drink anything in the bar, though...

    I have to withhold opinion here because many die-hard fans are looney and sometime the closer they get to the idol, the more liberties they take; and if denied what they perceive as their entitlement, they get angry and dangerous. It's very possible that a drunken Trace just didn't have the patience with a looney fan that a sober Trace might have had.

    I seriously don't know why on earth anyone would want to be really famous.

      I never said everyone in the south is ignorant. I know better. And trust me, there are PLENTY of rednecks up here in the Northwest as well. Redneck is a state of mind, not geography.
