      Indifferent bastard They have been really private about it. And they still do seem to get along as people. From what he said I guess him being away from home has to do with calling it quits.

    • @surbhidarnal9502
      @surbhidarnal9502 6 років тому

      Alisky exactly Dan is so busy in his music tours. Dan and his wife aja always used to post I miss him and stuff like that on instagram. 4/5 days before there divorce news came out she had posted a photo of their daughter Gia and Dan captioning 'my everythings' so the main reason for their divorce has to be the distance between them and Dan being busy.

    a couple days ago i went to see imagine dragons in concert at madison square garden, and before singing "demons", dan gave a speech about how important it is to get help when going through something. how if you have depression, it doesn't make you broken or weak. he said that he was diagnosed with depression and has a therapist, and there is nothing wrong with asking for help. and now that I watch this and I can feel his heart breaking with every word, i feel that little concert speech of his much more deeply. I love him and the rest of the band; i have been a hardcore fan for years and years and YEARS and though I've never met them they're like family to me. as always sending love to them all, and lots of support to dan during this time❤️

No one is entitled to hear why someone else's relationship ended in gritty detail. It's no one's business but theirs, and if they want to keep it private, it's not really the fans' responsibility to fill in the blanks with garbage they made up off of the top of their heads...

    I respect mormons and anyone with religion as long as they respect me for who I am I'm an athiest but when I'm preached to when I don't want to be preached to that's when I'm triggered

    I feel bad that they are getting divorce and just asking myself after everything he has said, how is them being best of friends not enough to hold their marriage together... I am also sad because my 7 year old twins love his music so much Whatever it takes, Thunder, and lately Believer all from the Evolve album. It amazes me that I have to wrestle my phone from them coz they want to hear the songs over and over again that if we only had a vinyl instead of mp3, it would be scratched so much.
