Nickelback will take their Dark Horse to the U.K. in May for five shows following their North American tour in support of their new album.

Nickelback's "Rockstar," from 2005's All The Right Reasons, is up for the record of the year title in Britain. You can vote for the Vancouver band, or one of the nine other finalists, here.

If you're wondering about the headline of this article, Spotted Dick is a British dessert. It also gives us another excuse to make a gratuitous dick reference and spotlight Chad Kroeger's sexually charged lyrics. Kroeger may choose to enjoy that dish, or a treacle tart, while he's in England.

Here are Nickelback's U.K. tour dates:

May 22 Manchester, UK @ Manchester Evening News Arena
May 23 Glasgow, UK @ Scottish Exhibition And Conference Centre Hall 4
May 25 Newcastle, UK @ Metro Radio Arena
May 26 Birmingham, UK @ The National Indoor Arena
May 28 London, UK @ 02 Arena

Hopefully we don't hear anything about Chad Kroeger, spotted dick, and a case of beer anytime soon.

Even more "intriguing" than Chad performing such a "skillful" feat of flexibility at age 14 would be if Chad still has such a "skill" at age 34... What person (myself included) wouldn't wish to have such a "talent"? Come on...Don't lie... :) Chad Kroeger is very "fascinating" because he writes such a diverse variety of songs... How could you ever figure out a man whose onstage presence radiates sexual, animal, MAGNETISM, yet whose voice belts out tender, vulnerable, soulful, ballads? Chad Kroeger can never be "pigeon holed" like a lot of recording artists definitely can be... Chad writes beautiful love ballads like "Hero", "Too Bad", "Far Away", "Gotta Be Somebody", "Never Gonna Be Alone", & "If Today was your Last day"... Chad writes fun songs like, "Animals", "Something In Your Mouth", "Rockstar", "Next Contestant", & "Someone That Your with"... Chad writes angst filled, "suicidal" songs like, "Savin Me" and "I'm Not Leaving Yet"... Chad writes searing, heart pounding songs like "Side Of A Bullet", "Just To Get High", and "Just For"... Chad writes wild songs like, "Burn It To The Ground", And then (the icing on the cake) Chad recently wrote the sexually charged, "Sex" and "Next Go Round"... This gorgeous hunk of a man writes songs about EVERYTHING! What woman wouldn't DIE to have a sweet, loving, caring, VULNERABLE man in her life who was also fun, wild, crazy, and super sexually charged? Chad's pure onstage animal magnetism while singing songs like "Figured You Out" is terrifying, & just doesn't match up to the vulnerable little boy belting out songs like "Savin Me" and "Hero" This is called COMPLEXITY people, and Chad Kroeger's complexity and creative GENIUS is off the charts! (And this "God" can still laugh at himself and reveal some stupid, little thing he did when he was growing up in horrible life circumstances and just wanted some BEER)... What a beautiful "SOUL" lives and breathes in Chad Kroeger... The man takes my breath away...
