On January 6, Blythe took to social media to share a significant message regarding the tour, prompted by an email from an acquaintance who expressed excitement about attending the event with their son, whom Blythe knows personally. In his candid response, Blythe conveyed his reservations about the suitability of the content for younger audiences.

“I had to reply and tell them that I am not so sure this is a good idea,” the vocalist stated, emphasizing his concerns about the mature themes that will be explored during the tour.

Blythe elaborated on the nature of the tour, explaining that it will not merely consist of him reading excerpts from his book while seated on a stage. Instead, he intends to actively engage the audience by acting out and “illustrating” some of the intense and personal scenarios he recounts in his autobiography.

“Just in case any of y’all are completely unaware of my history as a human being, over the years, at times I have lived a very, ahem, ‘full throttle life’ — there is a VERY GOOD reason that I have been clean and sober for 14 years now,” he explained. He emphasized that a portion of the stories he will share will touch on heavy themes of alcohol and drug use, as well as the chaotic situations that arose from those experiences.

The frontman reassured fans that while the tour will include humorous anecdotes, many stories will delve into darker subjects that may not be suitable for children. He made it clear that this is not a family-friendly event.

“I’m not going to be gratuitously foul-mouthed, but I’m not a choir boy; my life hasn’t been a never-ending trip to Sunday school,” he stated. “We aren’t going to be sitting around a campfire at summer camp — it’s adult storytelling time, y’all, so leave the kids at home.”
