including the subject of the OP. The poster also said "and 25 others" but presumably the biggest names would have been the ones who got a picture and name shown.

Of the four remaining, it was Vanilla Ice, C+C Music Factory, Bret Michaels, and someone else (I already forget).

So they are absolutely bleeding acts, and that is after booking mostly music industry dregs and detritus to begin with.
