Jelly Roll’s First Arena Tour: “Beautifully Broken”
With his first-ever arena tour underway, Jelly Roll is pulling out all the stops to make it a memorable experience. The Beautifully Broken tour promises a one-of-a-kind production, as Jelly Roll hinted at a surprise element for fans. “I wanted to make sure we took it seriously and went the extra mile to put on a real show,” he shared. While the host teased the possibility of a water feature on stage, Jelly Roll kept his lips sealed, encouraging fans to attend and see for themselves.
New Album Release: October 11, 2024
Jelly Roll also announced the release of his new album, set to drop on October 11, 2024. With proceeds supporting addiction and mental health initiatives, this album reflects Jelly Roll’s passion for both music and social impact. “It’s almost done. I think I’ll add seven more tracks and aim for a 22-song album,” Jelly Roll said, teasing fans about what’s to come.
Personal Stories: $700 Lemonade Stand & Collaborations with Eminem, Machine Gun Kelly, and Ronnie Radke
One of the standout moments from the interview was Jelly Roll’s heartwarming story about spending $700 at a lemonade stand before a tour stop in Utah. Explaining his commitment to the golden rule of treating others with kindness, he said, “Every time I see a lemonade stand, we stop. I know how deflating it can be for a kid when no one shows up.” He clarified that the $700 was a group effort from his band, joking, “I was broke. We had to pool our money together.”
Jelly Roll also reflected on his collaborations with major artists like Machine Gun Kelly, Ronnie Radke, and Eminem. Working with Eminem, in particular, left a lasting impression. “Collaborating with Eminem was the most unreal moment of my career,” he admitted, adding that nerves nearly got the best of him during their first meeting.
Music with Purpose
Throughout the interview, Jelly Roll opened up about how his struggles have shaped his music and connected him with fans on a deeper level. “I know who my music is for now. It’s about impact and purpose,” he said. Songs like “Save Me” and “Son of a Sinner” resonate powerfully with his audience, though he hopes his most defining song is still yet to be written.
