On September 14th, we lost my father to a 3 year battle with cancer. He was an absolutely amazing man, and he will be missed by so many... especially his son.

There will be parts of this upcoming show that will honestly be quite a struggle to perform. Dad was so looking forward to being there, and I was endlessly excited to share this with him. The fact that he passed away so close to being able to make it is utterly heartbreaking. Wanted to share this in some way just in case there are any moments where it becomes difficult to maintain composure. By at least saying it now, I'll feel a lot less awkward about it later.

This show and everything artistically I contribute from here on out are dedicated to him... my father, my friend and my hero.

With endless thanks,
