Biography
Slade Craven and his band decided to put on their final concert on board a passenger airplane for a live internet concert before he and the band retires. All was going well, he performed a song and shocked his fans by putting one of them in an electric chair which was proven to be a prop when Slade turned on the chair and sparks flew, but the fan was ok and was amused and thrilled by the experience. After the performance, Slade decided to take a break and sit out for a few minutes. Meanwhile, Slade was subdued by the impostor, Simon Flanders who would pretend he was the rocker. He then shot the plane's captain, killing him. At first they thought it was another gag, but then it "got real" when it was shown he was dead.

Meanwhile in a communications room in the bottom of the plane, the real Slade woke up, untied himself and called for help, he confirmed that Slade they thought they were looking at on the concert's live feed was an imposter. Slade, with the assistance of a hacker who hacked into the live feed illegally, he took out the terrorists who wanted to crash the plane in a satanic ritual they had in their deluded minds before Slade landed the plane.

He, along with the surviving members of his band, his fans, and one camera man who documented the incident would refuel and resume their flight to their destination before the hijackers took it over.
