Kid Rock has spent a staggering $800,000 (GBP444,444) on a three-storey home in Nashville, Tennessee - despite being in trouble with the law there.

The rocker, real name BOB RITCHIE, pleaded no contest to criminal assault in June (05), after he punched a disc jockey in February (05) at an adult entertainment club in Nashville.

But the Detroit singer decided to move there because the city also holds good memories for him, as one of his biggest hits, PICTURE was recorded in the country music capital with another area resident, Sheryl Crow.

The 2,814 square-foot condo boasts three fireplaces, marble bathrooms an elevator and a two-car garage and is located in the city's upscale West End.

Rock, who was once engaged to Pamela Anderson, moved into his new pad on Wednesday (13JUL05).
