His popularity and fame were based on his relationship as hype man and comic relief for fellow musician Kid Rock.[1] ConditionCalleja was born in Taylor, Michigan and was diagnosed with a severe form of celiac disease,[2] an autoimmune disease that may cause stunting and dwarfism and some complications in rare cases. Because of this, he had a maximum height of 3 ft 9 in (1.1 m) [3] at adult age. His dwarfism resulted in multiple medical problems. In 2000, he said in an interview with John Norris from MTV that he had to take 60 pills daily and required constant medical treatment.[2] His Los Angeles Times obituary stated Calleja's medical regimen had required taking 65 pills daily, in addition to undergoing daily dialysis.[4] CareerCalleja first met fellow Michigan musician Kid Rock at a concert by the latter in Roseville, Michigan{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} in 1994.[4] In a backstage interview conducted by disc jockey Julie Slater of New York FM radio station K-Rock (WXRK) on July 24, 1999, after Kid Rock's performance at Woodstock 99, the artist said Calleja "used to come to all my shows, he would be standing on tables in the front row singing the lyrics."[5] Kid Rock said in the interview that he mistakenly thought Joe C. was a child. Calleja asked a mutual acquaintance to tell Rock he wanted to smoke a joint with him, Rock said, after which the pair formally met and Rock learned Calleja was actually a 21-year-old adult. "He's talking and I'm like, would you like a job? He's like, I can't do anything. I'm like, it's not important right now. I was like, you got attitude flying all over this room. I was like, I'll teach you everything you need to know."[5] He appeared on television, including a guest role with Kid Rock on the animated series The Simpsons, on the Season 11 episode "Kill the Alligator and Run". Joe C. was a World Wrestling Federation fan and made various references to the WWF stable D-Generation X during concerts. He appeared on the May 18, 2000, edition of WWF Smackdown during a taping in Detroit to drink beer with The Acolytes, and on the May 29 edition of Raw Is War, helping Too Cool win their only WWF Tag Team Championship in 2000 from Edge and Christian.[6] He was also featured posthumously in the animated film Osmosis Jones as a part of Kidney Rock. DeathIn November 2000, Calleja had to leave the tour with Kid Rock, only appearing in a few programs from this issue. On November 16, 2000, one week after his 26th birthday, Calleja died from celiac disease complications in his hometown of Taylor, Michigan. His mother found him dead that morning. Kid Rock released a statement on Calleja's death: "Family and friends are everything; without them, all of the fame and fortune means nothing. We have lost part of our family. Joey gave us, and the world, his love. He brought a smile to everyone who has ever known or seen him. In a world full of confusion, Joey made all of us laugh. No matter what color, religion, race, or beliefs we have, he made us all smile. He gave us the gift of joy. Joey, thank you. We will never forget you. We love you."{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} Rock dedicated his 2001 album Cocky to Calleja. Discography
