Andrew W.K. Offers To Pay Speeding Ticket of Fan Listening To His Music

By Riot Fest / January 17, 2018January 17, 2018 / Chicago, Music

Luke Mitchell was driving down the M4 in the UK  listening to the new song, ‘Music Is Worth Living For‘, by Andrew W.K. when he was pulled over for speeding.

When Luke tweeted about the incident, Andrew W.K. offered to pay the fine.

The fine for speeding? £100. But Luke turned down Andrew W.K.’s offer and instead asked him to donate the money to a charity instead. Luke did accept a pair of tickets to an upcoming show instead. You can check out the full twitter exchange below.

Casually driving down the M4 and @AndrewWK new single comes on @DanielPCarter @Radio1RockShow and now I have a speeding ticket. Totally worth it.

LUKE: I would like to pay this speeding ticket for you. I was responsible for the sonic party power that caused you to speed.

I’ll Direct Message you now to get your information. Please let me do this for you.
