That comfort has helped him process the emotions involved in “Hell Together,” which are intense!

Its, like, heavy emotions, but I feel like theyre good emotions.

So to see that other people can feel them as they dive into the song is really special.

He returned to TV singing competitions last year witha stint as Macaw onThe Masked Singer.
