Koe Wetzel Says Coachella Was 'Crazy,' Promises 'An Hour Of Chaos' At Stagecoach
Country-rocker is still riding high from his explosive debut, and he's already promising fans even more chaos at Stagecoach. Wetzel joined rising star Jessie Murph on stage at Coachella for a surprise performance of their hit duet 'High Road,' sending the crowd into a frenzy. The appearance marked Koe Wetzel's first time at the iconic festival, and from the sound of it, it won't be his last. Murph had an impressive lineup of music, including her hits "Cowboys and Angels," "Gucci Mane," Wild Ones," "How Could You," "It Ain't Right," and more, but the surprise was when she brought out Wetzel to sing their hit song, "High Road," live. 'Coachella was great! It was my first time out there," Wetzel said during a press conference at Raising Cane's when The Blast asked about his time at the popular festival. "I played 'High Road' with Jessie. The vibes were great and it was crazy. We enjoyed every minute." Funny enough, Graves was also at Coachella the same day and they had no idea they were both there! 'You were there?' Graves asked Wetzel. 'Weekend one? What day did you perform?' Wetzel clarified he took the stage on Sunday, to which Graves said, 'How did I not know you were there?! That's wild.' In addition to Coachella, the crowd at Stagecoach better brace themselves because Wetzel said, "I'm excited about Stagecoach, too. It's gonna be an hour of chaos!' Wetzel also reflected on how country music is evolving and embracing new sounds. 'Country music is such a big genre now with so many people like Hardy, Morgan [Wallen], Post [Malone], Zach Top, and many others, and it's great because we're hearing all angles and styles of music,' said Wetzel. 'It's a cool time for country music and music in general.' The collaboration between Wetzel and Murph has already proven to be a career-defining move. 'High Road' became the pair's first No. 1 single at country radio last year, despite some initial fan pushback when the duet version was released after Wetzel first teased it as a solo track. Still, the numbers don't lie. The song topped the charts for several weeks, and Wetzel stood by the decision to release it as a duet. He's even credited Jessie Murph for elevating the track: fans, it seems, eventually agreed. Koe and Jessie's Coachella moment only solidified the song's success, and with Stagecoach just around the corner, Wetzel is ready to raise even more hell. Elsewhere in the press conference, Koe Wetzel discussed his recent collaboration with his longtime friend, Raising Cane's founder Todd Graves, to enter the fast-food world with a healthy dose of humor and mischief. 'Todd and I share a love for the outdoors and many common interests. We like to get out there and have a good time and have some great memories together,' the country music star said of his friendship with the Raising Cane's CEO. 'Todd is a great guy and does so much for so many people, so we get along well. I'm very happy to be part of the Raising Cane's family.' 'I've always been a big fan of Koe's music and love that he hasn't changed his style over the years. He continues to do it his way and is highly respected in the country music community and throughout Nashville by artists of all sizes,' Graves said of the country music singer. 'Koe and I first got together when I invited him to the Cane's suite for Super Bowl LVI at SoFi and we had a great time." Graves continued, "He's a genuine person who has determination, passion and a vision for his music, and that's one of the things I love most about him. I get inspired by people who are out there doing things and chasing their dreams and Koe and I have that in common and so much more.' Then came the difficult question: 'Who would last longer if Todd and Koe switched jobs for a day?" "That's a toss-up!' Wetzel said with a laugh. 'But the first thing I would do as a crewmember is rename the Caniac Combo to the Koeniac Combo for February 28.'

The 40-year-old country star explained that he wanted to continue shedding pounds so he could partake in high-risk activities, like skydiving and riding a rollercoaster. During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday evening, he told the late night talk show host that he needed to reach a certain number to be able to 'do all the fun stuff in life' — such as 'riding a bull' or 'wrestling an alligator.' He previously revealed he weighted over 540 pounds when he embarked on his health and fitness journey three years ago.

I want to ride a rollercoaster. I want to ride a bull. 'I know it sounds crazy,' he added. 'I want to wrestle an alligator. I've got a list of things that I want to do.' In response to the rapper revealing his motivation for shedding pounds, Kimmel expressed surprise. 'So let me get this straight — you do all this hard work and you have all this discipline losing all this weight, and then you want to do something that will potentially kill you?' Jelly Roll quipped: 'Ain't that great? Listen, I was waiting on the heart disease to do it so I might as well get it off and run straight into it the other way.' Then, the talk show host joked back: 'Have you ever considered wrestling the alligator while you skydive?' Jelly Roll replied, 'That'll be my plus-one.' The award-winning musician then shared insight on how he managed to lose over 200 pounds with a simple but consistent regimen.

This comes shortly after he revealed he went from 540lbs down to 357lbs amid his health and fitness journey. Last year, he was training to run a 5K and shared his goal of losing 100 pounds. 'I've been really kicking a**, man,' he told People in April 2024. 'I'm doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week.' He continued: 'I'm doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in the cold plunge every day. I'm eating healthy right now.' The singer added: 'I feel really good. I was thinking, I plan on losing another 100, 100-and-something [pounds]. If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I'm going to feel like by the time I go on tour.' Earlier this month, he revealed he reached his goal of losing 100 pounds during an event in Pittsburgh.

During a December 2024 appearance on his wife's Dumb Blonde Podcast, he said he wants to cover Men's Health magazine. 'I wanna be on the cover of Men's Health by March of 2026,' he shared. 'That's my new goal. I wanna have one of the biggest transformations.' He added that he was 'so glad' to be having the discussion in front of an audience. 'I did this publicly for a reason. I wanna be honest about my struggles with it with people.' The hitmaker explained about body image and fame: 'I think that people that become as big as I became, when they lose the weight, they're kind of ashamed. They're so ashamed that they go hide and lose the weight. 'And then they come back out [and] they don't really know how to interact with the world looking different or feeling different, and they kinda gotta find their whole new way.' He continued: 'I wanted to lose it in front of everybody. I wanted to talk about it.'

Jelly Roll's Criminal Cases Take a Major Turn
Jelly Roll just scored a major win when it comes to his criminal record — and now, he is waiting on bated breath for the final decision. On Tuesday, April 22, Jelly Roll (real name Jason DeFord) received positive news in his request to receive a pardon for the crimes he committed as a teen and in his early 20s. The Tennessee Board of Parole recommended that the country star, now 40, be granted a full pardon, per the Associated Press. While the recommendation is a major step in freeing the four-time Grammy nominee from the major constraints the convictions have brought him, ultimately, it is Tennessee GovernorBill Lee who will make the final call. Since rising to fame in the country scene, the "Wild Ones" singer has been candid about his rap sheet from crimes he committed in his youth and as an adult in his 20s, including an armed robbery conviction and various drug and theft cases. Jelly Roll served a year in prison following the armed robbery conviction and seven years on probation. During Tuesday's hearing, Jelly Roll spoke out about why he wants to pursue the pardon. "I want to be an inspiration for people who are now where I used to be — to let them know that change is truly possible," he told the board, per the AP. "One of the reasons I'm asking for your recommendation for this pardon is because I'm looking to take my message of redemption through the power of music and faith through the rest of the world." Jelly Roll, has made it his mission to visit prisons — even his own former juvenile detention center — to give back to the community, a community that he was part of first-hand. He also explained to the board that he would "still be using this same pardon, God willing, to go do missionary work in my 50s and 60s,' he said. As for the difficulty the charges from his youth still impact him today, the "Save Me" artist told the board that the conditions of his cases make it extremely difficult to travel. 'It takes a team of lawyers and a mountain of paperwork to secure my entry into those countries," he explained. Nashville Sheriff Daron Hall shared photos of himself embracing Jelly Roll at Tuesday's hearing, breaking the news that the Tennessee Board of Parole "unanimously recommended his Pardon." Hall has been advocating on the musician's behalf since requesting the pardon last year. Jelly Roll, for his part, previously opened up to People about his time in juvenile detention, calling it the most impactful thing that ever happened in my life." "The darkest moments of my life still were being that 15-year-old scared kid spending Thanksgiving away from his family," he recalled.
