Billy Bob Cancels Rest Of Canadian Tour!!!
We're guessing Billy Bob Thorton didn't appreciate looking like a complete douche earlier this week.
The actor musician was a total ass Wednesday morning on a Canadian radio show when he was there to promote his band and touring with Willie Nelson.
Thorton got upset when the radio host mentioned that he was an actor and screenwriter. That prompted Thorton to act like a dumbass, ignore the radio host, and respond with rude and odd remarks.
Then, at the end of the interview, when Thorton and his band were set to perform, he opted not to.
And, after all that, Thorton's now decided to be a pussy. BBT and his band, The Boxmasters, have dropped out of the Canadian tour he was on with Willie Nelson!
The following message was posted today on Willie Nelson's official website:
Billy Bob & The Boxmasters - no more Canada
It has been reported that Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters will not be continuing the Canadian tour with Willie and Ray. At this time, no reasons have been announced but the remainder of the tour will continue as scheduled without The Boxmasters.
How unprofessional. Wonder what the reason could have been for him dropping out.
What do U think?

Country Blowhard John Rich Is Suing Mad!
His ass got tired of being Booed!
I think his bandmates were embarrased by him and they got into a huge fight and split up.
He got FIRED!
He was really down on Canadian audiences in that interview, saying they were "mashed potatoes" with no gravy. Guess the Canadian groupies don't appreciate stoned old dudes. No accounting for taste, I guess.
They kicked his ass to the curb!
Now hes a fucking fossil!
good riddance, we don't want him! he was supposed to be here in montreal tonight…glad he won't contaminate this city! …besides we already have celine dion and simple plan contaminating it.
i've met willie nelson and he's totally cool and laid back. he probably asked bbt to get the hell out of his party.
i feel sorry for bbt's band. they seem like great guys who have to work with a prick.
no wonder angelina dumped him and went after brad armpitt.
Because he's a piece of shit that's been called out, perhaps?
what a douche!
what a loser…
What the H-ll? Maybe Willie Nelson wanted to be rid of a guy who is an idiot, can't sing and gets the audience all ticked off! Doesn't really make for a good Willie Nelson concert. The only good thing that came out of this trainwreck is that Jian Ghomeshi, who interviewed BBT on the CBC is a ROCK STAR interviewer and handled himself with grace and professionalism. Maybe BBT should go back to Arkansas where they understand him.
He dropped out because the Canadian audience was negatively responding. As they should! Billy Bob seems too petty and too grumpy to deal with it.
Douche
BILLY BOB'S A DOUCHEBAG BITCH. F HIM. WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?
he is so arrogant!
i doubt his band will do well after this overreaction. does he seriously think people want to support an arrogant prick like him?
stop hating on canada billy bob!
I think I've heard enough about Billy Bob's drama!!!

Re: FearItself – Kewl! Your turn…
I think he is a turd. So ungrateful. The canadian announcer was so polite and professional. BBT is seriously immature and needs a reality check back to the trailor park
what a fucking tool. i've lost all respect for this plastic-faced idiot. i hope he disappears now.
I'm glad.. this will finally be the end of Billy Bob.. his ego is just to huge. "it has been for years" I don't think he will ever be cast in any good movies again. Up next for him: A direct to video movie staring Billy Bob Thorton and Lindsay Lohan. With guest appearance by none other than: Aubrey O' Day!!!! Get to Wall-Mart Tuesday at 12:00 AM to get you copy early!!!!!!!!!
Poor guys in his band!
He's fucking them over big time!
everyone take note.
DO NOT F-K WITH CANADA.
don't think we'll take your shit and swallow it. so many, if not all americans think they can make fun of us without consequence. most jabs at canada are based on pure ignorance.
Now THATS the best news i've heard!!! I luv Willie N. and he sure doesn't need BBT's bad attitude ruining his tour…His ass would have gotten boos right through Canada!!!
bruised ego i'm sure
Acting like a total douche on a radio show is one thing - and refusing to perform on that same show… I can kind of understand. But to cancel on people who are counting on you, to the public that have bought tickets because you're afraid of being BOO'd off the stage is just what he deserved. I hope he has to compensate the band and the entire production company - and then I hope his ass still gets BOO'd everywhere he goes. He's doing this for VANITY anyway - he gets what he deserves.
i wonder how his bandmates feel about him fuckn up their chances at makin it big. wat a douche!
I think that BBD may have fisted him and he needs time to recover.
he hit his peak when he was boning angelina.. aaaalllll downhill from there.
Canadians don't even want him here!! Go back to the US. The only things good to come out of there is Perez Hilton and Britney Spears!!
In a word…fired. Lucky for him, if he thinks he got a bad reception in Toronto he has NO IDEA what he was in for in Montreal. No gravy, my ass. the guy would have become poutine. Too bad we didn't get a chance to see that. All I can say is that I anticipate his music career being very very short. Get over yourself billy bob….we in Canada are over you.
Good! If you can't behave like a decent human being, you shouldn't be out on the road "making music", and I use that term very loosely in Billy Bob's case. His bandmates were embarrassed by him and he embarrassed the whole tour. My guess is he was forced to quit the rest of the Canadian part of the tour.
Perez,
We ALL know your English language ability sucks, but could you at least get names spelled correctly????
His name is Thornton … THORNTON!!!!!!!!!!!
SERIOUSLY, THIS GUY HASN'T DONE ANYTHING WORTH COMMENTING ON SINCE HE WAS DOING ANGELINA. tHE LAST THING I CAN REMEMBER WAS BAD SANTA AND ALTHOUGH THAT WAS VERY FUNNY, IT CERTAINLY WASN'T ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE.
GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Canadian audiances have figured out he is shit and he is not getting enough attention. Boo hoo.
If he is any movie its BOX OFFICE POISON! No different with the band, huh?
Re: BBBoricua – I did I did!
Because fans only showed up for Willy Nelson……
His own bandmates don't like him. That was a pretty tense interview.
Spoiled brat…..ok i will stop now. Can you tell I think the guy is a knob. He did it to himself.
He just doesn't like having to cart his drumset around at 6 a.m. After all, what kind of serious musician does that?!
Re: flyho1 –
Yes, absolutely!
Perez please identify him as…

maybe because he was a total dickwad and insulted canadians! douche bag… (PS. If i were having some mashed potatos i would DEFINITELY have gravy) what a stupid thing to say!! why not call us ribs with no 'BBQ sauce… or pasta with no tomato sauce or taco's with no salsa, or mac with no cheese etc. so DUMB!
He couldn't handle the heat from canadian audiences after nationally saying they were lifeless at concerts. I don't understand the american fascination with putting down canada, you're no better than us.
Good riddance anyway, billy bob's a self righteous douche.
I think hes trying to ' teach us canadians a lesson ' for mentioning his actor/screenwriter status. Oooh we are such assholes for doing that. how dare we do such a horrible thing..
hes a douche. big oneeeeeeeeeeeee
A friend of mine was at his show here in Toronto, and the crowd was booing him, and he yelled back at the crowd,"boo to you too!" LOL!!
PEOPLE… your are giving this dip-stick more power by reacting so strongly.
Who cares what his dumb ass opinion is?! I surely don't!!!!
:(
…this is because he had the fucking nerve to insult an entire country, and he was BOOED OFFSTAGE AT THE MASSEY HALL SHOW.
.
.
Saying that audiences in Canada are like "mashed potatoes without the gravy".
.
.
Fuck you Billy Bob. You're a giant douche.
and canada says….thank you.
Billy Bob is an arrogant, mean man. He needs to get over himself. His music sucks. He hasn't even made a decent movie since Bad Santa.
BILLY BOB CANCELS THE REST OF THE TOUR BECUASE HE KNOWS NOBODY IS GOING TO SHOW UP TO SEE HIS BAND. LIKE HE CARES!!!
AND DON'T COME BACK WE DON'T WANT YOU!
Signed…A Canadian!
This idiot comes here and insults us……he had the audacity to be arrogant about his ridiculous diva behavior, insult us, and then expect not to get boo'd??!!
It was so clear that his bandmates were so embarrassed by BBT's behavior during the interview. They looked so uncomfortable. Darn, it sucks for them because they're trying to make it in the business and he went and f'd it up for them. I wonder if they discussed it afterwards and whether or not they agreed with his tantrum.
I've seen him once "perform" in Amsterdam. I believe his marriage with Skeletina was on the rocks. What an ass! Canada misses nothing, nothing.
I like good old rockin' Willie Nelson, hopes he find a better replacement instead of this douchebag!
i have a friend who's working on the tour…and the word is that there was some discussion from Willie's folks with Billy Bob's people…suggesting it might be better to have not be part of the rest of the Canadian leg
he canceled because he is a dickbag and willie probably kicked his doucheass to the curb. what an asslick.
Re: LaffyTaffy –
Yeah, that was hard to watch….what an asshole. His band and the presenter did a great job though. Making BBT looking even more worse! I was once a fan….WAS…..
Jian Ghomeshi was a total pro! This guys know how to interview and he is always prepared. I can't believe what a spoiled Hollywood baby Billy Bob was. It's not like Mr Ghomeshi asked what sex with Angelina was like, he just mentioned Billy Bob's other career as a means of introduction. It would have been confusing to radio listeners if he hadn't! The interview was all about the music! And Mr Ghomeshi never implied that the Boxmasters were a hobby for Billy Bob, he in fact said that music was Billy Bob's first love. I like how Billy Bob said, "Would you ask Tom Petty that?" Yeah, because Tom Petty and Billy Bob Thorton are on the same level musically. What gall. And you know what? If Tom Petty had made millions making movies and had won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay before embarking on a musical career I'm pretty sure it would come up at some point in an interview with him.
Good for you Willie Nelson, not letting this giblet head (is that too harsh on giblets???) screw up your tour. Have a great trip and welcome to Canada!!! We love you! YOu are a class act. BBT is like the plague, better sent home the the great US of A, or he will get his ass poutined in Canada!
Honestly Perez, can you not tell he's on something?!? Maybe it's my experience with some 'recreational' drug use in college but I would bet a million he's on something. Seemed like he's on pills or maybe acid or mushrooms or something. He is SO out of it thats why I think he wasn't answering the questions and didn't seem to know why he was there or what was being said/asked. His eyes were darting around, looking up, and his pupils are abnormally small which is usually a sign of using an opiate. I def agree he's a douche but I think drugs were a factor for this behavior. Now that they've dropped off the tour don't be surprised if he's the next one in the tabloids for going to rehab!
fuck you billy bob. good luck booking anymore shows after this one
canada hates you now motherfucker
Maybe he should get together with Joaquin Phoenix…seems like they are riding the same douche bag train
he's afraid to be fumed by weed smokers just like britney!

it's actually pretty funny, cause all the boo-ers were also throwing packages of gravy at him xD

KEEP UP!!!!!!!!!
he got booed at Massey Hall in Toronto and said that Canadians were like gravey on mashed potatoes, "you just sit there" and tried to backpeddle and said he was talking about the interviewer from the radio station. he said canadians were too polite during concerts…okay then, go down to Arkansas or Kentucky where you'll get beer can's thrown at you, stupid typical American Hillbilly..
Good riddance Billy Butt Thorton! Don't bother coming back.
It just proves what we have suspected about Billy Bob for quite sometime now,
He's a TOTAL TOOL!!!!!!!!!
What an unprofessional jerk. Hopefully his band mates dumped his sorry ass. I remember how embarassed they look. Get over yourself asshole.
I personally don't blame him. He asked the interviewer to not talk about his acting career because he was there simply as a musician. The interviewer was a dick and wanted to turn it into something stupid when it didn't have to be.
looks like he couldn't handle the "Gravy"
Good riddence. We don't want him anyway.
Re: Amelapa – the Interviewer respected that and did NOT ask any questions about acting or movie careers. Presenting and interviewing are two different things.
the press makes them….the press can destroy them too. when someone starts at the bottom, they all want their picture taken….years after they dont. wtf?
and if youre lucky enough to be interviewed….you pretty much respond to the questions. He will never in a million years will be in the same league as tom petty. And you never…NEVER insult a country…..no matter who they are. a person….ok….a country…NO. billy bob acted like a prick. he can now join joaquin phoenix's band. kudos to the enterviewer.
Had friends at the Thursday show……it was not nice for BBT, lol. People kept booing him and when he booed them back they started screaming…."actor" and "here comes the gravy!!" and then someone threw packaged mashed potatoes at him, but missed.
Willie was fantastic with the audience, as was Ray, getting everyone back in a 'happy place', so my guess would be that BBT was told to leave the Canadian tour. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Although I would have loved to see what Montreal did to him, lol!
dude needs his head checked in a big way. he's a loser who is not as imprtant as he thinks he is.
I heard that Willie got pissed off at him because Billy Butt kept trying to suck his cock.
Re: GHT – GHT = BBT maybe?
I just feel sorry for his band mates….poor guys……
….btw, he should make another Bad Santa movie, he is so acting like the character..
Yayyyyyy!!!!!! We didn't want him here anyways!! He's only making an attempt at music because he's a washed up hasbeen who no one cares for anymore
He was a total ass! He actually had the nerve to compare his "musical talent" to Tom Petty! Does he really think he's as good as Tom Petty?!? What will he say next…"Would you say that to Springsteen?" Go home bb. We sure won't miss you!
Re: tara_g – Ok, I'm Canadian and what you just said made the rest of us sound like idiots…good job.
If you're going to insult people (by playing into stereotypes, that just brings you to their level) - not all Americans are like that.
I watched that interview, the interviewer was nothing but polite and professional. BBT refused to answer any music based questions (looked like he was on something) and only came to life in the interview when his acting career was mentioned.
Rude, arrogant jerk. Go back under the trailer you came out of.
Do feel bad for his bandmates, they did look upset with his behaviour.
Good for BBT. Canada is way behind on their work dues with the AFM but keeps getting to vote on things anyway. It's ridiculous. PAY YOUR WORK DUES AFM and then maybe you'll deserve a little more respect from America. Wankers.
Dear Canada,
Get over yourselves. BBT is courageous to do what he did. You all make me sick with your stupid comments. This man is talented in life. He's done a lot of great things and deserves kudos for his courage to take up and leave. NO GRAVY in Canada. You don't even know what you're talking about. Shut up Canadians. Tell your musicians to pay up like everyone else… in the meantime, enjoy your pot and general loserness and keep commenting on stuff you don't understand. See ya.
Re: Amelapa – Did we watch the same interview? Because he was trying to ask BBT musical questions and the douche was all like "I don't get it?", "I like moster magazines" - his response to the question, who were his musical influences growing up.
Fuckin' Canadians are a bunch of DICKS huh Slingblade?
Honestly, I don't think BBT was trying to diss Canada. He was making out a point that the Canadian Audience tend o be more reserve. It didn't come out right by using words like mash potatoes w/o gravy but I really don't think he was trying to be insulting. With that said, he really acted like a TOTAL JERK during that interview, and I feel sorry for his bandmates..they didn't deserve this. And any American trying to defend BBT should be ashamed. Nobody should act that way during an interview
He is an asshole! The booed the hell out of him in Toronto, insulted Canadians during the interview. Goddamn asshole! What an idiotic redneck, went from being insulted to putting down our Canadian ways and Canadians! Screw you! Go back to your hillbilly country, you no class moron!
So much for us not having any gravy! We booed you off the stage moron!
Why does he dislike Canadians so much? Bad first impression? He is obviously cranky and ill-rested; its 6 am, ice cold, still dark outside (he is affected, maybe?) If the program host was a beautiful, radical woman perhaps she could have cajoled him, but BillyBob was at odds with this poor host. BB was visibly disgusted: brilliant but incensed. During his monster magazine tirade he explained his childhood creative process? He has culture shock and he appears arrogant.
You know, we put plenty of gravy on things. Have you ever tried poutine? Its served mostly in the province of Quebec. Its delicious!
He is an ugly, douchebaggy, HAS-been, **DIVA**. No wonder Angelina got sick of his ugly worn-out ass.
Probs bc he is still pissed that he walked out on the hotness that is AJ! He was a dumbfuck WAY before this little incident!
damn perez, you made 91 comments on this one. not bad for a white boy
He's a pompous douche, and couldn't take the booing. He had a big ego in the studio, but couldn't take the real heat, with the real people.
It didn't bode well for Willie's tour either, he's no fool.
I feel sorry for Billy's band, whoever, or whatever it was, they looked very uncomfortable in the studio interview, and now they are out. Maybe they support him, but then they support being again, nowhere.
Ego only takes you so far, talent and dedication and humility is what is needed to go the long haul. Sorry for the band, but they probably knew who they were dealing with, so no big loss for anybody really. Just a tiny bit of celebrity bullshit that will be forgotten, except for anybody that listens to their music, then they will remember, and it's tainted now. Good job Billy.
white trash.
It's a bit ironic that Billy Bob stated in the interview, "We usually play in places where people throw things." Now that he's got the Canadians throwing potatoes and gravy at him, this should make him feel more at home. It will be interesting to see how the audience responds when they go on the Jimmy Kimmel Show later this month.
…..cos asswipe was gonna be pelted with mashed potato…and not the good stuff with gravy…..crazy ass fucker….AND STAY OUT!!!!
…..his band mates have no one to blame for the failure of their cd but that steamypile of monkey shit Billy "My Mouth is a Piece of Shit" Thornton….
….we would never do that to Tom Petty, Fucker!
