From Metal Church to Ross The Boss: Marc Lopes on Why He’s Done Playing the Sidebar

Ross The Boss was building a legacy, then it all vanished. Marc Lopes joins Chris Akin to pull back the curtain on the heartbreaking reality of ALS, the “half-truths” told by the industry, and the brutal business decisions that left a 20% partner in the dark. If you think you know why the tour was canceled, you haven’t heard the real story yet.
