Спенсер не будет принимать участие в туре Паники

[swjuly]

HI. I’M BRENDON URIE FROM PANIC! AT THE DISCO.
And my band has been through a lot.

From graduating high school to almost immediately getting an indie record deal. To having to become best friends with new acquaintances in the close quarters of a conversion-van whilst touring the country. To dealing with animosities inside and outside of the band. To dealing with “creative differences”. New band members joining. Old members quitting. And now this: one of my closest friends has been struggling with addiction.

I guess I never thought that last one would ever really be a “thing”. Ever. I figured if we ever got into drugs or partying that we would phase out just as quickly. And for a while, we seemed to do just that. Phase in and out of consciousness without worrying about future consequences; or, “future tripping”.

But over the course of the last 6 years or so, I’ve learned that not everybody deals with things the same.

I don’t know why that particular lesson took so long for me to learn. I mean, I’ve always understood that people are different and you can’t judge someone you don’t know because you haven’t walked a mile in their shoes and so forth. But when it happens to someone close to you whom you love and respect… It’s just a different story altogether.

I first joined this band (then under a different band name) as a replacement guitar player. Initially, I had no intentions of being a permanent member. I was just filling a space as a temporary solution to a not-so-serious problem. But within a couple month’s time, I was a lead singer of a growingly popular rock band out of Las Vegas. So, things were pretty damn good for a hyperactive high-school kid with sub-average grades and no plans for college.

My initial impression of Spencer was that of intrigue and curiosity. Most of the time he was quiet and reserved, but every now and then he would unleash his wit of which I was an immediate fan. We seemed to share the same brand of comedy which was a breath of fresh air to me. That initial connection became a fully-fledged friendship that would become stronger over the course of many years. And many fights. Many tears and many laughs.

Writing our first album together was so much fun. Even sometimes cutting class to work more hours for more pay at a smoothie hut just to make ends meet for gas bills and a rehearsal space couldn’t have been more fun to me. And when that album became popular, it was so completely surreal. My entire childhood was spent practicing for and dreaming about entertaining crowds of people. I lived to perform. To sing. To dance. To play music. And I was finally getting to fulfill my dream.

And through the years of changing sounds from one album to the next, of fighting over who should still be the lead singer, of being around people who were so completely done with being a band, I never gave up. I just showed up. And hoped that there were people like me who wanted to make a difference. People who wanted to create something. Because they needed to. Because if they didn’t, it would drive them insane. And luckily, I found people like that.

I guess what I’m saying is that Spencer and I have been through a lot of hurdles together, but witnessing one of my closest friends immersed in such a battle has been the most difficult. There was never anything I could say to comfort him or empathize with his situation. What the fuck could I possibly say to him to make him feel like everything was gonna be okay? So I told myself that all I could do was work even harder with whatever I was doing to make sure he didn’t have to stress about anything. So I did.

And I wrote as sincerely and honestly as I could for this album. I didn’t want to hold anything back. No one was telling me what I could and couldn’t say. This was my diary and the pages were filled with confessions. About everything. About my story. What I had gone through and what I was going through. I kept writing and never really stopped.

So, here’s another confession for my diary. Only this time there’s no musical soundscape or background in which I can flood the message. All I can do is say it. So here it is.

Today is August 6th 2013, and it’s become evident Spencer still needs more time to take care of himself. I can’t expect him to be fighting addiction one minute and be fully immersed in a national tour the next.

With all that said, the tour will continue without Spencer while he is away getting the help he needs. Thank you all for your support and kind words.

I love you. I believe in you. Just show up and don’t ever give up.

Перевод от ВК

Наша группа прошла через многое. От окончания средней школы до почти немедленного заключения контракта. До необходимости стать лучшими друзьями с новыми знакомыми, живя в тесном фургончике и гастролируя по стране. Мы имели дело с враждебностью внутри и за пределами группы. С «творческими разногласиями». Новые участники присоединялись к группе. Старые – покидали ее. И теперь это: один из моих самых близких друзей борется с зависимостью.
Я никогда не думал, что это может вылиться во что-то серьезное. Никогда. Я считал, что если наркотики или вечеринки коснутся нас, то мы также быстро сможем со всем покончить. И некоторое время назад нам показалось, что мы это сделали. Этап, на котором мы не побеспокоились о будущих последствиях.
Но в течение последних 6 лет я понял, что не все могут одинаково справиться со сложившейся ситуацией.
Не знаю, почему именно этот жизненный урок я осознавал так долго. Я имею в виду – я всегда понимал, что все люди разные, и ты не можешь судить кого-либо, не побывав на его месте. Но когда это случается с кем-то тебе близким, с тем, кого ты любишь и уважаешь.… Это уже совсем другая история.
[…]
Мы со Спенсером прошли через много препятствий, но стать свидетелем того, что один из самых близких тебе людей находится в такой нелегкой борьбе с самим собой, было самым сложным. У меня нет слов, которые могли бы утешить его или посочувствовать его ситуации. Какого черта я мог ему сказать, что заставило бы его думать, что все будет в порядке? Поэтому я сказал себе – все, что я могу сделать – это работать еще усерднее, чтобы убедиться, что у него нет стресса. Что я, собственно, и сделал.
И я написал этот альбом таким искренним и честным, каким только мог. И я не хочу ничего взамен. Никто не указывал мне – о чем я могу говорить, а о чем – нет. Это был мой дневник, и его страницы наполнены признаниями. Обо всем. О моей истории. О том, через что мне пришлось пройти. Я продолжал писать и не останавливался.
Итак, вот еще одно признание для моего дневника. Только в этот раз нет никакого музыкального фона, в котором я мог бы заглушить свое сообщение. Все, что я могу сделать – сказать это.
Сегодня 6 августа, и стало очевидным, что Спенсер все еще нуждается в большем времени, чтобы позаботиться о себе. Я не могу ждать, что в одну минуту он поборет свою зависимость, и уже в следующую полностью окунется в национальный тур.
Я хочу сказать, что тур продолжится без Спенсера, пока ему все еще требуется помощь. Спасибо всем вам за вашу поддержку и добрые слова.
Я люблю вас. Я верю в вас. Никогда не сдавайтесь.
Брендон Ури.

A Message from Spencer

[swjuly]

For the past 4 and a half years I’ve been battling addiction. Well, to be honest, I’ve really been battling it for the last two years. Those first 2 and a half years were spent in a place where I thought I had finally found the correct dosage of my personally prescribed medicine to feel “normal"…..In reality, I was mostly stumbling through my life hoping no one noticed I was high.

Growing up I never used drugs or alcohol. I smoked weed and had my first drink in the same night when I was 19. I loved it, and from that point on I made sure to make up for all those years I had spent abstaining. I’d think to myself… “What have I been doing? This is it! This is what I’ve needed". I didn’t know it then, but it would be the identical reaction to the way I felt while using that would later lead my drug use dominating my life. For the first few years, my life in a band afforded me the ability to maintain a drinking habit that wouldn’t have lasted a week at a day job. Being on tour left me with a very distorted view of what drinking habits are considered “normal". But, unlike most of the other musicians I spent time with on tour, when I got home my drinking increased. My anxiety and depression became much worse, and I used alcohol to attempt to numb it. It can be a shock to the system when you go from being on tour for 18 months, almost never being alone, always having somewhere to be and a show to play, to waking up alone having no clue what your gonna do for months on end. Now, if that sounds like it should be on the top of the list of first world problems, you’re right. No one deserves any sympathy for having too much free time. But for someone like me, an addict and alcoholic, free time can be dangerous. I need structure, and when I don’t put it in place for myself, I suffer the consequences.

Then, a little over 2 years ago, something traumatic happened in regards to the health of a loved one. It was around this time that I started taking Vicodin and Xanax on a daily basis. It was an intoxicating mix. At the time, I honestly thought that I had figured it all out. That I could self medicate my way to always being happy and never having to deal with any underlying issues causing my depression. I quickly became a serious addict. As crazy as it seems to me now, when I was high, I felt like the person I wanted to be. I liked myself, and I thought that everyone else must like me more too. I’d become so used to functioning when I was drinking and taking pills that, in my mind, everyone else must think I’m not only acting “normal", but happy! outgoing! and content. On tour, It became a balancing act between taking enough so I didn’t start feeling withdrawal symptoms and not taking too much that I couldn’t function.

When we got off the tour we were doing for our last record, I slipped further into my addiction. With a lot more alone time and no worry of being presentable at an interview or a meet & greet, my life began to revolve around my addiction. Wake up: Take a pill to have the energy to get out of bed. Leaving the house: Make sure I have enough pills to last till I get back. I had back up pills in my car, my backpack, all over the place incase something happened to the ones I had on me. I couldn’t go more than 8 hours without feeling painkiller withdrawals. I was taking a dangerous amount of pills while drinking to chase that high, and just like with any other substance, the higher the high is, the lower the low is. What started out as a way for me to numb anxiety and depression had become the major cause of it.

Last fall, after months of trying to quit and only making it 2 or 3 weeks, I entered treatment. I was extremely lucky to have the support of my family, bandmates, friends and my girlfriend. I’ve met too many people who have lost everything and burned every bridge they have due to their addiction. I can honestly say that without the love and support of those closest to me, I wouldn’t be here, sober, and able to write this today. The thought of putting this on paper and out into the world is scary. Since I’m still so fresh in my recovery, I was questioning whether or not I should. But, as anyone who has dealt with this personally knows, recovery is not possible without honesty. I spent years hiding and lying about my addiction. A huge weight was lifted from me when I could look at my friends, family and band in the eye and tell them what was really going on. It didn’t feel like I had some sort of double life anymore. I don’t want that feeling in any aspect of my life again.

Wow, now that I’ve put this down all my nerves have gonna away and it just feels freeing. My goal in releasing this is to try and relate to anyone who has experienced addiction personally or with a loved one, and to be honest with everyone else. To let people know that anxiety, depression, and addiction are not picky. They plague people of all ages from all walks of life. But, you can recover!! So, please seek help if you’re suffering personally, and urge anyone you know to get help if they are suffering. It gets better one day at a time.

Looking forward to seeing all of you on tour,
Spencer

Краткий смысл от ВК:
Сегодня на официальном сайте группы появилось сообщение Спенсера, объясняющее все, что происходило с ним в последние несколько лет - резкая потеря веса, молчание в твиттере и т.д. К сожалению, оказалось, что на протяжении 4 лет Спенсера мучала зависимость - сначала алкогольная, затем, когда алкоголь уже не давал соответствующего эффекта и не помогал бороться с депрессией, он начал принимать Викодин и Ксанакс. Прошлой осенью он принял решение о том, что ему необходимо пройти лечение, и рассказал обо всем семье и друзьям. Сейчас вы можете видеть грустную иронию во всех этих комментариях к редким фотографиям Спенсера, которые появлялись в сети в последние полгода. И уж точно никто не должен осуждать его за то, что он снова набрал вес, что, наверное, является признаком выздоровления.
