In 2019, a light controversy emerged when pop singer Justin Bieber posted Tool lyrics on Instagram, expressing admiration for the band. When asked about Bieber's tribute, Keenan responded on Twitter with a terse "#bummer," suggesting discomfort with the sudden endorsement by a pop figure with a vastly different fanbase. Bieber's wife, Hailey, publicly criticized Keenan's response as rude and dismissive.
To address the cultural gap between the two artists and lighten the situation, DJ Cummerbund created a mashup combining Tool’s “Parabola” and Bieber’s “Love Yourself,” titled “Love Your Parabola.” The remix playfully fused both artists’ styles and tempered the tension surrounding the incident. The mashup gained attention online as an unexpected collaboration of musical genres.
Beyond music, Keenan is an accomplished winemaker and the owner of Caduceus Cellars and Merkin Vineyards in Arizona. His passion for viticulture is well-documented, and he has played a significant role in cultivating the wine industry in the Verde Valley region. As a winemaker, Keenan applies the same meticulous attention to detail he is known for in his music career.
He was also featured in the documentary Blood Into Wine (2010), which chronicles his immersion into the world of winemaking and highlights the challenges of growing grapes in Arizona's high deserts.
Maynard James Keenan has two children. His first child, Devo H. Keenan, was born in 1995. Devo participated as a vocalist during live performances of “Thirteenth Step” with A Perfect Circle and performed at his father's 50th birthday celebration concert.
In 2010, Keenan proposed to Lei Li, the lab manager at Caduceus Cellars. The couple married on September 10, 2012. On July 25, 2014, they welcomed a daughter, Lei Li Agostina Maria, further anchoring Keenan's life outside of the spotlight in his winemaking and family pursuits.
