- LOS ANGELES — The tour life with erratic schedules and the adrenaline rush of
performing live seem to be weighing heavy on musician Kevin Jonas.
-
- For Kevin Jonas, the post-show “blues” can be equally as
brutal, reports ‘People’ magazine.
-
- Kevin, 37, recently spoke about the emotional toll that
an international tour can take on musicians, especially coming off of the high
of constant action and adrenaline.
-
- He told ‘People’, “All the depression, blues, it's real,
especially after a tour. After our last tour, we did over 100 and something
shows, it was too many, and we ended up in Europe. I got on my plane to come
home after I believe 130 shows or something, and I got on my flight, which was
delayed terribly, which is never fun (sic)”.
-
- The Jonas Brothers recently went on their seventh world
tour, ‘THE TOUR’, last fall in promotion of their sixth studio album, ‘The
Album’.
-
- As per ‘People’, the tour concluded in Krakow, Poland, on
October 16, 2024, which was the last show of the band’s European leg.

- He further mentioned, “I took the first flight out from
Poland to go through Munich to get home and (was) delayed for like seven hours,
and then they had make a random stop in Nova Scotia. So it literally took me
like an extra 18 hours to get home, and I was already fatigued and burnt out by
the time I got home”.
-
- “My wife was like ‘Something's wrong with you, are you
okay?’ I actually had to go start talking to a therapist about it, how to
process the highs and the lows, it’s so jarring”, he added.
-
- The musician mused about the toll all artists take on,
especially his brother Nick, 32, who is currently starring in the Broadway
musical ‘The Last Five Years’. The show tells a nonlinear tale of two lovers, a
novelist named Jamie (played by Nick) and an actress named Cathy (played by
Adrienne Warren), as they explore the beginning, middle, and ultimate end of
their relationship through song.
-
- “(Nick) really has to live in this and I think he takes
it home with him too, which is really hard if you know the show. It’s
emotional”, Kevin said noting that he probably wouldn’t be up for a Broadway
stint himself.
