    The fact that Wayne called him and asked to be interviewed was a humble act and means he really cares

    When you feel alone in a room full of people, that’s when you truly understand what loneliness feels like.

    Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

    The amount of courage this took on Wayne’s part is going to fall into a whole domino effect of men starting to open up about mental health. All it takes is one person to speak out. HUGE props to him🙌🏽

    Thank you, Uncle Bob for saving the baby who would grow up to become a living legend.

    I feel him. Mental health is a real issue in our society that has been ignored.

    He doesn’t even know how much I’m struggling mentally, single dad raising 2 daughters. I’m 33 and grew up off him. I’m going to try to just keep going. Thank you. Really...

    I stumbled upon this randomly and what a full circle moment. Wayne gave an interview with MTV behind the music circa a decade ago and this story was told from a comply different perspective, one filled with bravado and hyper masculinity. The truth behind the event is not only heart breaking but so commendable. I’m so happy he got to this point and that I, a life long fan got a chance to see one of my favs in a different light. Love you always Tunchi,

    I love how clear Wayne talks when he’s sober. He looks and sounds like he’s doing better

    I’m so happy to see everyone care so much about Wayne and his struggles, but just remember to keep the same energy with your loved ones.

    Always loved Wayne above all but never could put my finger on what else it could be... but knew it was more than just his incredible talent and music - this says it all. You never know what someone's gone or going through. This conversation is like his art - he paints such a descriptive, poetic yet painful image you see so clearly as he describes his life's journey.
