We hear you have a lot of new and exciting things in store for the FANDOM tour. What can you tell us about it without giving too much away? Maybe a hint or two…

I ASKED FOR GREEN WIGS TO BE MERCH AND IT HAPPENED SO THAT’S GOOD.

What can fans expect when it comes to the setlist for this tour?

THE GREATEST WATERPARKS SET THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED. LEARN THE WORDS TO FANDOM.

Was it pretty challenging to balance old and new material for the setlist?

NOT AT ALL. COME THROUGH AND YOU’LL SEE WHY.

Which new song off FANDOM are you most excited to play live for the first time?

WE HAVEN’T PLAYED YET SO I’M NOT SURE, TO BE HONEST. WE’RE ABOUT TO PLAY THE FIRST SHOW IN LIKE 90 MINUTES AND NOW THIS INTERVIEW GOT ME NERVOUS. I’M READY FOR THE BASS IN “[REBOOT]” TO PULL EVERYONE’S SKIN OFF. 

Which FANDOM track are you most nervous to perform live for the first time?

I HAVE NEVER BEEN NERVOUS EXCEPT FOR THE SECOND TIME I GOT MARRIED.

Congrats on your new book You’d Be Paranoid Too (If Everyone Was Out To Get You): A Collection Of Personal Stories And Insights! Will you be selling copies on this tour?

THANK YOU! IT IS A MIRACLE THAT IT’S OUT WITH ALL THE OTHER STUFF GOING ON. COPIES WILL BE FOR SALE ON THE AMERICAN FANDOM TOUR, YES!

What initially inspired you to write your book?

I CAN’T HAVE FREE TIME AND WE HAD JUST FINISHED A TOUR SO I SPENT THAT MONTH WRITING THIS BOOK. IT WAS MOSTLY APRIL 2018.

Did you ever think you’d become a published author?

IT WAS ON MY LIST SO YES, IMMA DO ALL THAT.

Thanks for having The Noise be a part of this tour and can’t wait to get things started! #StreamFANDOM
