Chad Kroeger

Chad Krueger is known primarily as the lead singer and guitarist of the Nickelback band. In more than 20 years in music, the owner of a velvety baritone and the author of touching rock ballads like How You Remind Me and If Today Was Your Last Day has won a multi-million army of fans in North America and Europe. Collaborations outside of Nickelback take a special place in Chad Kruger's work.

Chad Krueger, née Chad Robert Turton, was born on November 15, 1974 in the sparsely populated town of Hannah, in the province of Alberta in southern Canada. The musician was brought up with his older brother Michael Douglas Henry Krueger (July 25, 1972), who is now better known as Mike Kruger, the bass player of the Nickelback band.

Chad Kruger abandoned the surname Turton at the same time his father left him - at the age of two. The vocalist Nikelback recalls that time in the song Too Bad: "Sometimes you called home to make sure that we were alive, but you weren't there when I needed you the most."

The mother of the Kruger brothers was attractive and lively. Therefore, soon enough, the children had a stepfather. He was a devout and kind man who sponsored the recording of Curb (1996), Nikelback's debut album.

Chad Kroeger has described the song “Every Time We're Together” as “Photograph Part 2”. The song talks about Chad being ...

As a child, Chad Krueger did not show criminal inclinations. He was interested in music and at the age of 13 he learned to play the guitar. The coveted profession of a rock star for Chad Kruger, like many teenagers, was associated with an antisocial lifestyle - alcoholism, drug addiction, brawl. Therefore, in his youth, he several times fell into the hands of the law.

In Nickelback's Photograph, Chad Krueger admits to stealing from classmates. He wanted to spend the money on a guitar amplifier. The plans of the juvenile offender were not destined to come true: at the age of 14, he was sent to a juvenile detention center for 2 months.

Chad Krueger's experience was not a lesson. At 15, he stole a car and almost got a real sentence. Fortunately, the lawyer was able to prove that the teenager intended to return the stolen goods.

The eccentric nature and exorbitant ambition did not allow Chad Kruger to get an education - neither basic nor professional. In the early 1990s, he preferred the Village Idiot cover band to the university, and in 1995 Nickelback appeared - the main achievement in the biography of Chad Kruger.

Music gave Chad Kruger not only worldwide recognition, but also life partner Avril Lavigne. The future spouses met in March 2012 when they were working on the song Let Me Go for the fifth studio album of the singer Avril Lavigne (2013).

Let Me Go was originally conceived as a breakup ballad, but Avril Lavigne finished off the sensual, up-and-coming chorus when interest arose between her and Chad Kruger. Their touching tenderness is captured in the video for Let Me Go. The video premiered in November 2013, after the musicians' wedding.

Chad Krueger invited Avril Lavigne to be his wife in August 2012. A luxurious wedding in the Gothic style was played on July 1, 2013 at the Château de la Napoule on the French Riviera. Contrary to tradition, Avril Lavigne wore a black dress and carried a bouquet of black roses in her hand. The celebration lasted 3 days.

Avril Lavigne debuts her all black wedding dress in this first pic from her wedding to Chad Kroeger in Hello! Canada.

Chad Krueger recalls his wedding to Avril Lavigne as the happiest day of their love life. This is hardly an exaggeration, because the musicians did not stay together for long. Already in photographs from their honeymoon in Italy, the newlyweds looked detached.

The first rumors about Chad Kruger's divorce from his wife appeared in July 2014. Then Avril Lavigne was going through hard times - she was bedridden due to Lyme disease.

On September 2, 2015, a celebrity posted on Instagram a touching photo with Chad Kruger and signed:

Chad Kroeger (Nickelback) and Nicolas Cage ... Look alike!

A possible reason for the divorce US Weekly called the fact that Avril met Chad after a painful breakup with the "socialite" Brodie Jenner. The singer enthusiastically plunged into the arms of the Nikelback leader, because he, unlike previous men, appreciated her talent. In marriage, both musicians became jealous, they could not adjust to each other's life. As a result, they preferred to part as friends for the better than live as enemies.

Marriage with Avril Lavigne to Chad Kruger is reminiscent of the inscription Vivre Le Moment Présent on his hand. Translated from French, it means "Live in one moment." Couple tattoos were made by lovers in June 2012.

Nikelback celebrated its 25th birthday in 2020. During this time, the group has created 9 albums, which have sold over 50 million copies, and their most famous song is still How You Remind Me.

Nikelback was once threatened with collapse. In 2015, the band canceled a third of their North American concerts because Chad Krueger urgently needed surgery to remove a cyst from his vocal cords. Fans worried that his voice would lose its velvety, but the album Feed the Machine (2017) proves the opposite - the baritone of Chad Kruger still sounds juicy and colorful.

Nikelback is Chad Krueger's most important brainchild, but his collaborations are also noteworthy.

So, Chad Krueger and Jousie Scott, ex-vocalist of the rock band Saliva, recorded the song Hero, which became the main soundtrack for the movie "Spider-Man" (2002). The duo received the SOCAN Awards, an award from the Society of Composites, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada.

On several occasions, Kruger worked with virtuoso guitarist Carlos Santanta, country singer Travis Tritt, leader of the rock band Daughtry Chris Daughtry, and American Idol finalist Beau Bice.

On January 23, 2020, ticket sales for the Nikelback tour dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the platinum album All The Right Reasons (2005) began. The concerts will take place in the USA and Canada. The first performance was scheduled for June 19, 2020 in Raleigh, North Carolina, and the tour concludes on October 3, 2020 in Mountain View, California.

Maybe now Chad Krueger has creative plans beyond Nikelback, but he does not have social networks or an official website that would let you know about it.
