00:00I love you guys, but, um, I just wanted to say, sometimes when a story comes out that's not directly
00:10from me, things can get a little blown out of proportion, so I just wanted to speak to my fans
00:15directly tonight, because I love you so much, it means a lot to me, too.
00:20So, the ability is to let you know how I'm feeling and not let the world decide and project, so
00:25I would like to just clear the air about a few things, if that's okay.
00:33Alright, alright, I'll keep it short, I promise.
00:37Um, so basically, the announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive or impulsive thing, it is something that
00:47I had decided, it's a plan that I had quietly made a long time ago, and it's a decision that
00:52was made from a thoughtful and empowered place, and I want you to know that many, many things can be
00:58true at the same time.
00:59Um, um, I want to share this because I heard that my fans, wait, hold on, I heard, I heard
01:08that my fans were worried that negativity was ruining things for me, but I just have to say, that could
01:14not be more the f***ing opposite.
01:18And, um, I promise you, this is not what that is, and I just want to be very, very clear,
01:27nothing has to be ruined, multiple things can be true at the same time.
01:30Boundaries, bound, yeah, boundaries can need to be set.
01:38Human beings can need a break sometimes, after many times, and also, this is not what that is, and I
01:47just want to be very, very clear, nothing has to be ruined.
01:47This can be, and will continue to be, the greatest experience of my professional and human beings, and absolutely nothing
01:56is getting in the way of that, or will get in the way of that.
02:00So I just wanted to make that quite plain.
02:16No matter what noises exist out there, nothing will ever be able to distort my reality, or be more real
02:23to me, or louder to me, than this love that we share.
02:32Or, than how it feels to make art with the people that I love and respect, absolutely nothing will change
02:37that or distort that for me, and I want you to know that and do that for me.
02:40Because, if I love you, yeah, I love you, and this is what I will always take with me, and
02:48carry with me, because the rest of that sh** is not mine to carry, so I don't carry.
02:54I love you, and I want you to know that.
02:58I needed to get out here and differentiate that from my truth for you all, because I love you, and
03:05this tour has been the most healing, beautiful, corrective, magnificent, special experience of my life.
03:11And so has, and so has putting out Pedal, it's been extraordinary, I need you to know, and I need
03:21you to know.
03:22Yeah, that felt good.
03:24Okay, thank you very much for wanting me to try and help me to get Pedal.
03:33I wish, I wish that words were enough to articulate just how much I love you all, and how much
03:40you mean to me.
03:41I wish, yeah, that's all.
03:44Okay, now we can keep going.
