"Rock Never Dies" is the seventh episode of the paranormal drama television series Supernatural's season 12, and the 248th overall. The episode was written by Robert Berens and directed by Eduardo Sanchez. It was first broadcast on December 1, 2016, on The CW. In the episode, Sam and Dean find that Lucifer is using Vince Vincente as a way to start his new career with worshipers. They along with Castiel and Crowley seek to stop him from killing the audience at one of his concerts.
The episode received mixed reviews with critics criticizing Lucifer's motives and actions in the episode.
Temporarily fixing his vessel with one of his fossilized angel feathers, Lucifer (Rick Springfield) revives Vince Vincente's rock career in Los Angeles for fresh worshipers. Dean (Jensen Ackles), Sam (Jared Padalecki), Castiel (Misha Collins), and Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) try intimidating those in Vince's circle to find out where his concert will be held, without success until Lucifer's forcing Vince's manager to kill himself gets bandmate Tommy (Woody Jeffreys) to text Castiel the location. Lucifer kills the rest of the band and beats Castiel and Crowley, though the Winchesters scare the rest of the humans away to safety. Lucifer reveals he has no plan and is upset that God apologized to him only to leave again to be with Amara. Now Lucifer believes everything is pointless and he just wants to have fun by making people suffer. The effort of the battle burns through Vince's body and Lucifer escapes with a promise to go on to bigger things.
