he's currently off tour and basically trying to get this album out because there are a lot of people with a lot of money invested in them at this point and some of them are getting frustrated with the output lol. this is their first REAL album and there's a lot of pressure on him, so he's definitely retreated to her a few times for the support this year since he knows she's been through it. basically he can't keep trickling out tracks or he's going to have nothing left to put on the album and there's some contention about things they do and don't want on the album, i think he and the band are having some tension issues too. he's very much of the 'we are a unit/package deal' mentality when it comes to the band but he's basically the face AND backbone of it, so it's natural that he gets pulled to the forefront when it comes to interviews and features. i think at least one of the guys thinks he's being a control freak about the songs, which isn't wrong, so it's a legit source of tension.
