“We’ve been touring since I was 15 and to be honest, it’s always been hard for me to be on the road away from friends and family,” he added. “After a few years off the road, I felt I was ready to dive back in, but that decision was premature and unfortunately the costs of the road and the stress caught up with me and I reached a breaking point,” Sean explained to his 69.4 million followers.
