Jackass star Steve-O arrives in Perth for tour without Bam Margera after he said he is going to die
Jackass star Steve-O was spotted out and about in Perth on Monday, where he kicked off his Australian tour, but his stage partner Bam Margera hasn’t joined him Down Under.
The absence comes after Steve-O, 48, recently said he was preparing for Margera’s death from drug and alcohol problems.
Margera opened nine of the stuntman’s US shows before reportedly falling off the wagon and going on a spree.
Before taking the stage at Perth’s Astor Theater on Monday, Steve-O looked excited as he chatted and took photos with some female fans.
He was dressed in his trademark style: a black T-shirt, an open short-sleeved shirt, and blue jeans.

He had a skateboard in his hand as he took a tour of the city.
Steve-O’s The Bucket List Tour kicked off Down Under in Perth on Monday night and will perform a total of 28 concerts across the country.
The ‘highly XXX’ tour will see the artist perform ‘ridiculous’ stunts and bits of comedy.
After multiple stints in rehab and numerous health issues, skateboarding star Margera returned for the first leg of Steve-O’s tour.
However, after playing nine concerts in the US, Steve-O accused his best friend of reverting to his old habits after posting what he considered “vile” on social media.
Underneath the post, Steve-O said that Margera was “dying” but deleted it two minutes later.
It read: ‘Bam, you had your five-year-old son with you last night on stage at my show, and you were blessed with the chance to spend another day or two with him; then as soon as you left my show, you stayed. I stay up all night getting drunk enough to think it was a good idea to post more vile crap like this. I hope you understand how horrible that is.
You say that you want to have a good relationship with your child, but your actions guarantee that the exact opposite will happen.

“I brought you on tour in the hope that it could make you see what is possible for you if you can choose recovery.
I tried everything I could, but I can’t force you to be honest and do the recovery work.
I’d like you to know how much I’ve hated feeling prepared for the news of your death, but you’re making it clear to me that I have no choice. You’re dying bro, and it sucks that he can’t do anything to save you.
Speaking on his Steve-O’s Wild Ride podcast on February 25, he said he regretted posting that comment publicly.
“Bam’s situation… I posted this comment on Bam’s Instagram because I had him on tour with me for 10 days, we did nine shows with me and it was pretty good,” he said.
“He kept telling me to go up to Nicky, his wife, and see if I could spend the day with Phoenix. [his son] because he is in Santa Rosa California that he was close to his wife and son.
“So the tour was a great trip for his son and the last day he met his son and we all spent the day together, it was a great day and we did our last show that night.”
‘After the show it was determined that bam was fine and Niki said he could spend another day or two with his son.
‘I came in at four, five, six in the morning and I was posting hateful things.

“When he posts hateful things it’s a terrible sign and he admitted it was because he was drunk.”
‘As a friend, come on, man, I was so bummed out, I was just as disappointed as I was surprised and that’s the nature of sickness.
Your hateful post had been up for 22 hours so I wrote that comment saying you’re dying, you’re dying, bro.
‘It sucks because I want to save you but I can’t, I can’t make you better, I can’t do that job for you.’
