[@laindiavaquera]

Triston Kirkham that’s what I thought also in the thumbnail. 😝

[@somethingstupid9092]

Also fun fact: he was in a Mötley Crüe tribute band before black veil brides. He played bass just like Nikki and even had nikkis hair cut

[@allysonmacpherson3713]

... Rewatching every Ashley video to see what signs I missed back then.

[@sophiecat2161]

It's uncomfortable to watch, now knowing what Ashley was going through. He definitely wasn't OK. Hope he's doing better x

[@FurianPA]

I'm a new fan. What happened?

[@SuperFlyingGlydon74]

⁠​⁠@@FurianPAhe lost his grandparents in 2015 and 2017 right when he was trying to move closer to them and had a big alcohol problem whilst going through an extremely hard time living on his own without any of his family left (his parents died not long after he was born and his grandparents raised him), he attempted s*icide a few times before going to a psychiatric hospital in 2019 where he wrote the lyrics to his debut solo song, Nowhere, after he came home feeling better, he was fired from BVB because they were gonna replace him with Lonny Eagleton (a massive fan), he then started his self titled solo project and released Nowhere on Friday the 13th of December 2019, he’s been making solo music since then

[@AuroraRoseTide]

I wish it wasnt your final tour because BVB holds a special place in my heart you guys where the first rock band I discovered and your such a great band

[@kristengumm5111]

[@karleetakeenan-fewings1203]

Ashley says like alot

[@skyaustin9758]

And "ya know"

[@nymri8537]

I say "ya know" an awful lot. I'm a good bit older than him, so I can confirm it isn't an age thing. The "like" thing, can get annoying. lol

[@karleetakeenan-fewings1203]

I know the 'like' can get very annoying

[@bryonysargent3052]

I subscribed only coz it was ashley xxxx

[@emotrash9364]

[@dallasjenkins2256]

Anything to do with the guys and I have to watch . Ash however looked a little uncomfortable

[@brookerichard6260]

He looks really anxious poor guy anxiety sucks

[@aliciasnavely5109]

[@corneliusvonsixx2015]

Final Tour, Final Tour!!!! WHAT IS THIS SUPORSE TO MEAN?!?!

[@nymri8537]

WArped is done after this, but there's also been rumors BVB is "retiring". Check out the channel Rock Feed, there is something about that, with Andy in it, that was posted a couple days ago.

[@nymri8537]

Please keep in mind i said "rumors". I did not confirm or make a "facts" statement in what I said. This is for anyone who sees my comment, not just the OP.

[@corneliusvonsixx2015]

Nymri 09 ok

[@piplupttheextrem1325]

The interviewer gives me anxiety,he speaks so fast i wonder how Ashley was able to understand everything,also he looked a little uncomfortable:(

[@emersynkersey7856]

*Hey folks* Haha what😂😂😂😂

[@arizo3806]

*fan girling. Not fan girl in. Typo

[@arizo3806]

I'm creepy by saying this but I love starin at his hands. And chest area. imagine me hugging him. Yep. I'm a creep. When is fan girl in taken too far.

[@SuperFlyingGlydon74]

Aren’t we all at least a little bit creepy now and then? We just gotta accept that creepiness and embrace it like Ashley did

[@Mika-jx8fw]

The way this dude speaks gives me anxiety

[@Cymro_Sinser]

Could not agree more haha!

[@elenaesanu1989]

Whys that?
