Here's Why There Will Be No Monkeys on Stage with Rascal Flatts in Vegas
You will NOT see any MONKEYS on stage with RASCAL FLATTS during their residency at the Hard Rock in Vegas.
But don't go thinking they have a prejudice against primates. The hate is because one of them put a serious hurtin' on GARY LEVOX during a video shoot.
He tells "People", quote, "We shot the 'Why Wait' video [in Vegas] and it was a lot of fun, but that monkey bit the fire out of me and I still have the scars to prove it. Monkeys are banned for life." (Here's the "Why Wait" video.)
