The Skid Row singer addressed the long-circulating anecdote in a Billboard interview after being named in Applegate’s new book.

Overview

  • Speaking to Billboard, Bach said he was surprised by the renewed attention and apologized if he hurt Applegate or anyone involved.
  • In You With the Sad Eyes, Applegate writes that she brought Brad Pitt to the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards but left the event with Bach.
  • Applegate, who was 17 at the time, recounts that Pitt was upset and that they did not speak for years before later reconciling.
  • Diary entries in the memoir say she later learned Bach had a long-term partner and a one-year-old child, and she expressed relief they did not sleep together.
  • In the same interview, Bach discussed taking over lead vocals for Twisted Sister on an upcoming tour with Dee Snider’s blessing.
