The outspoken Grammy winner made the official announcement during an interview with Howard Stern, where he refuted speculation of a possible Senate run.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;F&#8211;k no, I&#8217;m not running for Senate, are you kidding me?&#8221; The rocker proclaimed. &#8220;Who couldn&#8217;t figure that out?
