Corey Feldman Is Aware of Your Jokes and Playing Dallas With Limp Bizkit

Actor, writer and singer Corey Feldman boasts a career that reflects his relentless ambition and drive. His roles have ranged from neo-classics Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Stand by Me, License to Drive, The Goonies and The Lost Boys to the 2007 docuseries The Two Coreys (with counterpart ’80s icon Corey Haim). Having chronicled his journey in the autobiography Coreyography, Feldman is someone who continuously hits his personal targets with pride. No matter how the internet feels about that.

Feldman released his first album, Love Left, in 1992. But it wasn’t until he started touring with his backup dancers (the all-blond, scantily dressed troupe called Corey’s Angels) that his live performance became a source of endless scrutiny online.

Rising above the negativity and criticism has become second nature for Feldman, who powers on with all the blissfully unaware glee of American Idol reject William Hung, and however viewers feel about his musicianship, he is providing endless entertainment to fans and haters alike.

He’s also been on both sides of the MeToo coin. In his memoirs, he exposed major Hollywood players, such as agent Marty Weiss, as child predators. (In 2020 several former Corey’s Angels accused Feldman of misconduct and sexual abuse, charges Feldman denied.)

Feldman performed at Club Dada in 2017, and two days later was busted for drugs at a stop in Louisiana.

But these days, he remains focused on happiness, motivation and staying true to his art. This mindset has transformed him from a “lost boy” into a man who has found his voice and is ready to use it, much to the chagrin of the haters.

That’s not to say that Feldman doesn’t hear the outside noise regarding his singing, his band, his wardrobe choices — he hears it loud and clear. He’s also clear on his own stance, choosing to turn hate into harmony penning lyrics such as, “I see you out there laughing/ Every time I’m gaffing/ Now I’m filling stadiums/ With balls made of titanium” in his song “The Joke.”

A joke? Maybe to some, but there are certainly artists in line to collaborate with Feldman: Curtis Young on “Comeback King,” Snoop Dogg with “Go 4 It” and Kurupt on “Lickety Splickety.” Most recently, he’s teamed up with Limp Bizkit, Bones with Eddy Baker, N8NOFACE and Riff Raff on the Loserville Tour, which happens to be rolling into Dallas’ Dos Equis Pavilion on Aug. 13.
