Your lyric "to obtain a bird's eye is to turn a blizzard to a breeze" has gotten me through some crazy stuff. Almost 2 years ago I snapped my leg in two while 25 weeks pregnant with my youngest. Then the day we had her, the world shut down due to the pandemic. Nothing about life looked "normal" from the time I broke my leg and it just never let up. A gallbladder removal, retained stone, and kidney stone removal would still follow within 2 years of that day. Then this thing that took a year and a half to diagnose as vestibular migraine took hold and won't let go. All on top of the world looking so much different. I've learned so much through it all and it's all up to perspective. I just saw you guys in Ohio for my 10th show with you. I've long thought of getting a tattoo that might represent that lyric in some way. Some day I'll find the right art for it and get the courage to finally get one. Wishing you all the patience you can muster through recovery and hope for it never to happen again. Your perspective, as always, is so refreshing. Thank you for sharing!

One of the things that I'll never stop admiring about you is the fact that you can take rough moments, whether that be throwing out your back or getting broken up with via payphone or something else, and turn them not only into the perfect opportunities to reflect on life but also wonderful stories that can have funny moments. I couldn't help but giggle at the phrase "Doctor-says-I-need-a-backiotomy" 😹

On a more serious note though, my friends and I got so worried when we first heard about the shows getting postponed! And of course, we still do worry because we care about you and the guys and want you all to be happy. Although it must be a bit difficult having to sit down during the show when you'd rather be jumping around and rocking out, above all it's important that you're you're taking good care of yourself. It's good to hear that you feel a little better each day, and I hope the pain goes away soon! I think it goes without saying, but I still wanna say it just because: the Incubus fan community is sending all the love, support, and healing energy your way πŸ’–

Only 12 days until I see you in Ridgefield now. Damn, time is really flying by and I can't help but get more and more excited. I'm coming with my mom...this will be the first concert for her, and the third one for me.

Sending all the hugs πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ˜ΈπŸ˜ΈπŸ˜Έ

Okay, I laughed out loud at the half baked reference πŸ˜‚ I quote that movie almost daily…

Back pain SUCKS- coming from someone with scoliosis and a pelvic tilt. Learning how to work with your body (not against it) is very tricky sometimes. Be gentle with yourself❀️

PS: I loved seeing Billy travel to TX to comfort you! Dogs are the cure for everything.

I'm so glad you're okay. I probably spent an inordinate amount of time worrying about you but hey, you guys have been a major part of my life for the last...oh shit, twenty years.

Twenty.

Years.

Jesus.

I'm SO glad you're okay.

But now I'm having a small crisis that I was 15 years old 20 years ago so I'll just be off doing that πŸ˜‚

I'd say break a leg tonight but...ya know, don't.

You write so deeply and insightfully. I saw Phil Collins and he sat the whole time and the show still rocked. Do you have a massage therapist on tour with you? I love my physical therapist and chiropractor too. Feel better ❀️

The most articulate ROCK STAR w/❀ , such creativity and "DRIVE " , I've experienced in 60...well 50 yrs on this planet!! Yeahhh...I've also related to your articulate as story of "back" issues...in multiple understandings..... backs and knees have a way of humbling us physically, yes? However, going "back" and bending a "knee" to anything bigger than ourselves....even amazing rock stars as you all TRULY are ...is humbling to our core/sprit! Keep keeping on.....in whichever way that won't kill you.....tho my selfish me would say.....BRING ON MORE OF YOUR CREATIVE SELVES, INCUBUS, I step down...I n humility and bow to my Favorite musical people/gods! Much love n respect πŸ™ j

Your fam of fans got your...back! The universe said hold up a minute. Take care of you. And the rest follows. But getting older is truly humbling. Hope you are feeling better by the second. I am sure you are being bombarded with love, light, and good vibes from all over the earth! ✌

4) See ya in Louisville, the beautiful Commonwealth of KY, in a little over a month

5) You're growing older quite gracefully (says the 57 year old lady) πŸ˜‚
