Primavera/Europe

I think in the back of my head I knew I wasn’t exactly mentally healthy enough to continue to tour the way I have been since February. Honest truth is this has all happened so fast and I feel like the weight of it has been building for months now with what seems like a never ending touring and press schedule which includes absolutely zero time to myself. I’m sorry to everyone who has put effort into this and to everyone who supported me. Mixing ecstasy valium and xanax before having to play in front of thousands of people was one of the more poor decisions I’ve made(duh) and I realize my drinking has been a problem now for a good period of time. Nothing else I can do but apologize to everyone that has been affected by my poor decision making. I made a mistake. Not the first mistake I’ve made and it for sure wont be the last. I’m human. Don’t know why I chose the biggest platform I could imagine to loose my shit, but that’s life. You live and you learn.

Hi Nathan,
Let me say that I totally admire you for taking responsibility for your actions, that is a step that lots of people find the most difficult, once you take responsibility you can then start to make the necessary changes toward improving your life, you are not the first nor will you be the last person to make mistakes, the great thing is, is you can learn from them.
Take care and good luck
Regards

Dearest Nathan,
Please stop ripping off our music you entitled prick from San Diego. If you could find it in your heart to overdose the next time you take ectacy that would be awesome.

Keep it Lo-Fi!

Hey man,
I heard about your little thing just now and that your not gonna do the show i was planing on go to but i don't care man. I still think your awesome. I don't think you should think about this more then you need to. Your real fans are still hear for you. I mean, i think i would do the same misstake. And as you say, you are going to make alot of misstakes but who the fuck cares? I think your awesome cuz of your music, not cuz you haven't done any misstakes. Deal with the probs you have and then come and have a sweet concert i stockholm or Uppsala in sweden.
People you haven't met support you man. Good luck with everything and keep doing your awesome music and we'll hopefully meet some time.
Take care!
