Chris Benoit's Theme Song Revived By Our Lady Peace – Details
Yesterday at 05:02 PM
Our Lady Peace is reclaiming ownership of their song “Whatever,” which was previously used as Chris Benoit's WWE entrance theme. The band had stopped performing it years before Benoit’s tragic double-murder suicide in 2007. Now, they're bringing it back, with lead singer Raine Maida emphasizing its strong mental health message.
Maida explained that the band wanted to take control of the song, distancing it from the negative association with Benoit, and highlighting the importance of reaching out for help. During their performance, they shared resources for those struggling with mental health.
Maida said, "We're playing Whatever, which we did for WWE and it's kind of got a terrible (Chris Benoit) story attached. But we're taking it back as there's a good mental health message. We decided to take back ownership of this song because it is our song. And it has to do with mental health, and that's how we're taking control. This is about not being scared to reach out. And we'll put a hotline up at the end of the song but for anyone that is struggling, there is hope, there is help, and sometimes it's just three digits away. This is called Whatever."
