Is Tony Hawk the next rockstar?

Besides being an iconic skateboarder and entrepreneur, Hawk also has a video games series named after him. It is one of the only kinds of skateboarding games and has been endorsed by the athlete for a very long time.

The video game also has a band named “The Downhill Jam” for the music cover of the game. Recently, when the band was performing at a live show, Hawk also made an appearance on the stage with them.

And he did not just greet his fans but also surprised everyone when positioning himself in front of the mic. In a video posted by an Instagram user named ‘Clay Lake’, Hawk and his band are seen delivering a “rocking” performance. Although the pro skater was on his crutches, he did not fail to entertain his fans.

In March 2022, Hawk announced that he was struggling with a femur injury. However, the skateboarder never gave any further updates about the injury, until a few days ago.

The skateboarder posted an update on his Instagram account. The legendary athlete was in crutches and walking with a stick to support himself, with the song “I see the future” playing in the background.
