In The End I Lost It All

Chapter 10 Part 2: Black Mass Tour, cont.

After a successful flight, we finally arrive at Heathrow International Airport. I take a selfie to prove I made it to the airport and use the Wi-Fi to send it to Avril by DM (Direct Message) via Instagram. A few minutes later, she replies, 'Glad to see you you've made it safely! I love and miss you like crazy already. The kids said to say they love you and miss you also, and they'll see you in a few months from now.' I reply back and put my phone away, heading out to our tour bus and finding my bunk, getting first pick.

I choose a bottom bunk and set my stuff in it, turning around and seeing CC doing the same thing, he chooses the bunk above mine, asking if it's ok. I nod my head, and he quickly sets his stuff up in the bunk and then heads out to the living room area, with me following behind him. The other boys head back and pick their bunks, leaving the rest for Jesse, Chris Holley, Yanni, and our other crew members.

For the next couple weeks throughout our Black Mass Tour through Europe, Russia, and South America, all of the venues have been sold out, the meet and greets sold out as well. Meeting so many new people and having them tell us just how much their music means to them is the best gratitude I can possibly think of to having the most amazing career. Although I do miss my beautiful girlfriend, my kids, and my 2 dogs Trixy and Ernie.

Sitting on the couch, I begin to scroll through my Instagram feed and notice that Avril has been taking pictures of going to Malibu Beach with the kids, and having a fun day at the water; I'm kind of jealous to be completely honest. I would love to be there holding her in my arms while sitting in the sun, and watching my kids swimming and surfing and just about any other water sport in the water. Andy comes out and we all look up at him as he looks like he has something important to say. "Hey guys, so I got the setlist set up of which songs we're going to play for this leg of The Black Mass tour." We nod our heads paying close attention so we can practice before the shows once we get to the venue. "Alright, here's the list:

1. Heart Of Fire

2. I Am Bulletproof

3. Coffin

4. Faithless

5. Wretched & Divine

6. Knives & Pens

7. Overture

8. Shadows Die

9. Last Rites

10. Rebel Love Song

Then CC will do a drum solo, and we'll then continue on with:

11.The Legacy

12. Sweet Blasphemy

13. Perfect Weapon

14. Fallen Angels

15. Rebel Yell

16. And finally In The End..."

We all nod our heads in understanding, and Andy heads back towards the bunks, probably to talk with Juliet via Skype or FaceTime. The rest of us are checking our social media pages and commenting on our girls' pictures they post of our kids, pets, etc...

*Skipping a couple weeks into the tour*

Tour has continued to be a SUCCESS, with all of our shows selling out, along with VIP meet and greets, and special signings. We are currently in Moscow, Russia and getting ready to go on stage. CC makes his way up first getting into position on his drums, then Jinxx heads out with me behind him, Ashley behind me, and finally Andy after him. We begin playing Heart Of Fire immediately:
