The vocalist took to his social media yesterday (Jan. 6) to address something regarding the tour, though. The statement was prompted by an email he received from someone he knows that told him they’ve purchased tickets to the tour for themselves and their son, whom Blythe has also met before.
“I had to reply and tell them that I am not so sure this is a good idea,” the singer asserted.
Blythe explained that the tour won’t just feature him reading passages from the book on a stool from a stage — he actually plans to act out and “illustrate” some of the scenarios described in it.
“Just in case any of y’all are completely unaware of my history as a human being, over the years, at times I have lived a very, ahem, ‘full throttle life’ — there is a VERY GOOD reason that I have been clean and sober for 14 years now. This means that some, not all, but SOME of the stories I will be telling will involve heavy, HEAVY alcohol and drug usage, as well as the batshit insane situations that occurred as a result of said substance intake,” he elaborated.

The frontman assured that there will be moments that are humorous, but others will have a darker feel to them, and won’t necessarily be appropriate for kids.
“I’m not going to be gratuitously foul-mouthed, but I’m not a choir boy, my life hasn’t been a never-ending trip to Sunday school and we aren’t going to be sitting around a campfire at summer camp- it’s adult story telling time, y’all, so leave the kids at home.”
