The Maine Profiled in Forbes

The Maine

Forbes:

For more than 15 years, fans of The Maine have enjoyed unique opportunities to interact with the artists. From a free “fan thank you” tour, to meeting every single fan at no cost after each show on tour, the artists consistently challenge themselves to connect authentically, organically and directly with fans.

”That return is something they will never forget, and I don’t think that most artists would put in that much effort. In return, our fans know us, and we know them, and that is what has allowed us to be on our ninth album when most bands only make four, maybe five records,” says Tim Kirch, owner and manager of The Maine’s Eighty One Twenty Three Management.

Ian Watkins Stabbed in Prison

Ian Watkins was stabbed multiple times in prison over the weekend:

Former Lostprophets singer and convicted pedophile Ian Watkins sustained multiple stab wounds after being held hostage by other inmates in the British prison where he is currently serving a 29-year sentence on sex offenses involving young children.

Following the incident, Watkins was hospitalized with injuries the Sky News reported were “not life-threatening.” According to their report, Watkins was taken hostage by three fellow prisoners Saturday morning, leading to a six-hour standoff with corrections officers during which Watkins was repeatedly stabbed and beaten by the inmates.
