To my beloved supporters, I want to express my thanks for your unwavering support. Your cheers during my performance at the VMAs filled my heart with joy. As the night progressed, I changed into an Elvis-inspired blue suit, slicked back my hair and posed for photos with friends backstage.

He shared the stage with survivors of suicide attempts and singers Alessia Cara and Khalid. The lyrics of the song included powerful messages like “I don’t wanna be alive/I just wanna die today” and “I want you to be alive/You don’t gotta die today.” Let’s spread love and positivity always.
