ISTANBUL, Turkey - Kid Rock joined Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul and hundreds of other mourners Monday at the funeral of Ahmet Ertegun, the co-founder of Atlantic Records.

Ertegun - who counted Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and the Rolling Stones among the stars signed to his label - died on Dec. 14 at age 83, days after falling and suffering a head injury at a Rolling Stones concert in New York City. He later slipped into a coma."
