Keanu Reeves, one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors, known for his iconic roles in The Matrix and John Wick, has recently been the subject of an unexpected musical invitation. This time, it’s not from the world of film, but from the punk rock scene.
The invitation comes from Isaac Holman and Laurie Vincent, the members of the punk duo formerly known as Slaves. The duo wrote a song titled John Wick, inspired by Reeves’ legendary portrayal of the titular character in the John Wickfilm series. The song, written from the perspective of John Wick himself, was a tribute to the actor’s portrayal of the action-packed, nunchuck-wielding assassin.
In an Instagram post, the duo expressed their admiration for the actor and extended a special invitation for Reeves to join them on stage at Coachella. They wrote:
“Keanu, we f**** love you mate, we wrote a song about John Wick, from the perspective of John Wick. We’d love for you to hear it and it would be a dream come true if you would come and play bass on it with us at Coachella. Much love. Isaac (age 33) and Laurie (age 32) xx”
The heartfelt message highlights the duo’s excitement and respect for Reeves, making the invitation both a gesture of admiration and a dream opportunity for fans.
This unique request comes shortly after Dogstar, the rock band Reeves is a member of, made waves in the music world. Last year, Dogstar took fans by surprise with their Summer Vacation Tour, which included stops across Europe and North America. The band, featuring Bret Domrose (guitar and vocals) and Rob Mailhouse (drums), toured in support of their comeback album, Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, released in 2023. The unexpected tour reignited interest in Reeves’ musical career, which has always been a passion of his alongside acting.
While Reeves is currently focused on his film career, with John Wick 5 on the horizon, his connection to the world of music remains strong. Whether or not he’ll accept the punk duo’s invitation is yet to be seen, but fans are certainly excited by the idea of seeing the actor-turned-musician join forces with the punk band.
With John Wick 5 on the way and a growing presence in the music world, Keanu Reeves continues to prove he’s as multifaceted as ever, with fans eagerly anticipating what’s next in both his acting and musical journey.
