Speaking to the Linked Push in an job interview you can see down below, Duplantier stated the next, as transcribed by Blabbermouth:

“Yeah, certainly, it influences everyone, the full music community and all the fans. It is not the to start with time that a attractive soul, a fragile soul is sacrificed on the altar of enjoyment and rock and roll. And we are all about going out on the road and supplying almost everything for that, but there’s a selling price to shell out. It is seriously, truly, seriously really hard on the mental and the soul and the people. We go away youngsters at the rear of. It is tricky on most people. And I feel that he’s just an additional sufferer of this issue. It is a bit much more complicated than folks can feel. The lifetime of a rock star is not usually easy. It’s a great deal of evenings on buses and being absent from home for a lengthy time. So, certainly, it touched all of us.”
