my 2¢ about today’s announcement:

GOOD FOR HIM.

Yes I’m shooketh, yes I’m sad especially since I missed my only chance to see them in the US in Orlando, but as someone who's struggled with chronic insomnia literally my entire life (I was on several tranquilizers at the same time at one point and even that didn't put me to sleep, and I'm also struggling with a bad episode currently), and combined with past remarks and hints we've gotten from Joel (not even mentioning he put off his shoulder surgery so as not to impact the momentum of the band), as sad as the news makes me, I would much rather Joel step out right now and try to get well, before he burns out permanently and causes himself irreparable harm. Hell, he may have already and that's what led to this (the phrasing in Joel’s statement makes me suspicious of this, but that’s not our business!)

A few days of interrupted sleep impacts your brain the same way being super drunk does. Long-term sleep deprivation can cause PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE. Your thought process is DEEPLY impaired and you cannot make proper decisions in that state, which is why I, personally, don't think the timing of this is weird at all. I think (I hope) maybe he finally had at least some days of half-decent sleep or even just good REST if not sleep and realized "I can't do this right now, this is unsustainable."

Do I hope he comes back? Of course.

Do I think this is the end of Joel making music in some form? Absolutely not. Whether it’s just playing his guitar on TikTok, or I could also see songwriting credits, vocal features, or even singles under his own name again after a break (please let this man actually take a break lol).

The year was 2018. We sold around 120 tickets to our first show at the legendary @tavastiaklubi with @blindchannel. I kept telling myself that one day we’d play a sold-out show there. Yesterday, we sold a total of 1,600 tickets. So, it was sold out twice. The first show sold out in 24 hours, and the second one in just a few days. These final shows before the hiatus are deeply emotional experiences for everyone involved. Thank you for being part of this. More news next week. 🖤
