Ronnie Radke is in one of those rare moments where everything in his world is moving at once.
Falling In Reverse are pulling huge crowds, every show feels bigger than the last, and he even jumped on a Whatnot live stream while flying to Warped on a private jet and moved around a hundred grand worth of merch before he even touched the ground. It feels like he’s fully stepped into the peak of his career.
But the part that actually matters happened once he landed.
A little while back, a young kid named Maverick begged his family to take him to see his favourite band on the Popular MonsTOUR. They made it happen. That show ended up becoming one of his last normal memories before life flipped upside down. Just days later he was diagnosed with leukemia. Through everything that followed, Ronnie’s music became the one thing that stayed steady for him.
When Ronnie heard about what Maverick was going through, he didn’t just send a message or a quick video. He invited him out to Warped. Backstage. Autographs. Time together. The kind of stuff that means everything to a kid who’s fighting something bigger than any child should ever have to face. Then he took it even further. He brought Maverick out on stage at the end of the set to say goodnight to the crowd. This tiny kid standing in front of thousands. Maverick walked off and said, “That’s my friend now.”
It’s easy to look at everything happening around Ronnie right now and only see the fire, the production, the crowds, the money, the noise. But this was the moment that cut through all of it. A kid who needed something to hold onto, and a musician who could have been anywhere else choosing to make him feel like the most important person in the world.
That’s the part people remember.
