In a sincere and contemplative message released today, Dexter Holland, the legendary lead singer of The Offspring, connected with fans and the worldwide rock community in an open letter posted on the band’s official site and via Fox News.
Dear Supporters, Companions, and the Worldwide Rock Community,
I’m composing this letter not only as the lead of The Offspring but also as someone profoundly thankful for the journey we’ve experienced together throughout the years. Rock music has consistently been more than mere tunes and words—it represents a strong voice, a bond, and, most importantly, a community. Today, I’d like to discuss a couple of matters that I’ve been pondering, and I hope my thoughts connect with you.
To begin with, to our supporters: you are the pulse of The Offspring. Regardless of whether you’ve been with us since the Smash era or found us via TikTok, your enthusiasm sustains us. The tales you share—about how a song got you through difficult times or served as the backdrop to your joyful memories—strengthen our dedication to creating meaningful music. We appreciate your support during every album, tour, and exploration.
To the larger rock community: recent years have presented obstacles, from the pandemic stopping live shows to the changes in the music industry that frequently prioritize algorithms over art. Yet despite everything, rock music has persisted. Bands, fans, and even tiny garage shows have demonstrated that rock music isn’t merely surviving—it’s flourishing. We take pride in standing alongside numerous remarkable artists who consistently challenge limits and reshape the definition of being part of this genre.
Finally, I wish to recognize the significance of helping each other. In a society that frequently appears fragmented, music possesses the special ability to unite individuals. Whether you’re rocking out at a festival or strumming an acoustic tune in your room, you’re involved in something greater. Let’s continue to promote that togetherness.
As The Offspring progresses, we’re more committed than ever to remain loyal to our origins while welcoming the future. We’re creating fresh tracks, organizing thrilling performances, and seeking additional ways to engage with everyone. We appreciate your loyalty and assure you that we will continue to give our all.
I appreciate you for making this experience exceptional. Cheers to the journey ahead—bold, unreserved, and brimming with rock ’n’ roll.
Remain resilient, remain linked, and continue thriving.
With affection and appreciation,
Dexter Holland
Frontman, The Offspring
