Corey Feldman can add Kesha to the lengthening list of his famous supporters. In an Instagram post, the singer encouraged Feldman to keep his chin up. “It’s not easy to perform in front of millions,” she wrote. “Keep your head up. Normal is BORING.”
Feldman was devastated after being thoroughly mocked by much of the Internet for his performance of his new single on the “Today” show. The former child star said he had taken to his bed, afraid to leave his house. (His band, the Angels, was similarly suffering, he said in a since-deleted Facebook Live video.)
Admittedly, social media was fairly unkind to the “Goonies” actor, with tweets like this one being but a small sample of the amused ire of the public:
I’m usually against cyber bullying but Corey Feldman is just asking for it.

Other artists and celebrities have jumped to Feldman’s defense, including Pink, former co-star Jerry O’Connell and “Today” co-hosts Billy Bush and Tamron Hall.
Well I love ya @Corey_Feldman and I know how much it takes to get up there and do your thing. Keep your head up and know that you’re loved❤️
