I didn’t remember the exact moment I became somewhat complacent
about performing, except that it was a recent development. About a month
ago we were finishing up a show and from a technical aspect, the show had
gone smoothly. Was it flawless? No, but rarely did that happen in this
business. We strive for perfection every time we pulled up to another arena
to do a show but hiccups were bound to happen. What mattered, though,
was how we or our crews corrected and compensated for them.
Tonight it flowed seamlessly. The lighting was excellent, the sound was
great and my band brothers were in the zone for every single song from our
carefully selected set list. The audience was wild, too, jumping around in
the rows and aisles, positively loving our performance. It was a total rush
but I expected as much, this being the last show of another long and
grueling tour—and to do so in Vegas was always a special brand of crazy
good.
Some nights we got the mixture of everything just right and exploded
together on stage. This was one of those nights, but as I walked off stage
after the final encore I remembered feeling a sense of indifference. It was
something I’d never felt before. I definitely didn’t like it and for some really
strange reason I knew weeks later I’d still be grappling to pinpoint what
exactly I was feeling.
Don’t get me wrong. I knew I had one the best jobs on the planet and I
didn’t for one second take for granted the privileged life this career had
afforded me to live. I think what I meant to say was, the allure of stage
lights in my face and having an over-excited audience spread out before us
screaming out our names during a show still existed. The high we got from
performing was just as incredible now as it was in the beginning, but in the
last month of the tour I noticed I was leaving the stage far more exhausted
than I should have been and it was not for lack of physical conditioning. I
worked out every day either running, doing cardio, or lifting weights to stay
in peak form.
The fatigue I was experiencing was more of a mental
exhaustion than a physical issue with endurance. My body was used to our
ninety-minute sets but the last few shows we did I walked away feeling
twice my age and I didn’t think that should be the case. I was too young to
feel that way.
The perks of fame and success were still there, too. It was a constant
revolving door for us to attend the best concerts in any city we visited, as
well as be VIPs at the most notable parties, and we never waited in line for
a damn thing anywhere we went. We were pampered and spoiled with every
single one of our whims quickly granted—no matter the ridiculousness of
the request or the time of day.
