This Is How the Bachelor Zach Reminded Us of His Nickelback Obsession

Zach Shallcross wishes to show he’s consumed with Nickelback for all the best factors.

This season’s Bachelor has actually not avoided his obligation to the much-maligned rock group—after all, he and an entrant even bonded over for their mutual admiration of the band during the Jan. 30 episode—and now he’s offered a lot more context for how deep seeded his fandom is. 

“I saw Nickelback when I was in the 6th grade,” Zach told Vulture in an interview published Feb. 27 about his first-ever performance. “I remember Hinder, Chevelle and Hoobastank opened for them. Hell of a lineup.”

Not long earlier, Zach took complete benefit of conference someone who remains in the inner circle of Nickelback diva Chad Kroeger—and he’s hoping it lastly causes an eventful conference with Chad himself.

“I recently met a manager of his at some meet-and-greet and got his business card,” Zach stated. “I’m trying to shake his hand and tell him how influential he was to me. Fingers crossed.”

Chad Kroeger, will you accept this rose?
