2024 is shaping up to be a busy year for Kevin Costner, and he’s ready to make some changes.
On his social media, the “Yellowstone” star has decided to separate his Instagram account from that of his band Modern West.
“It’s still me, but it’s my new Instagram handle.” Costner wrote. “I started posting on social media to share the music of my band, Modern West. This name change will eliminate impersonation and allow the band to focus on our music on a new page. I hope it helps give you more space.”
He teased “personal nonsense” and encouraged people to follow the now separate Modern West account.
