The 25-year-old explained that this unique opportunity is a way for him to give back to his devoted fans. "It's also important when a show is sold out to enable someone to have that experience in real time that they can't otherwise have," he explained.
"They may live on the other side of the world or maybe they're not old enough or can't afford it,” he added. “Giving people the ability to be onstage with a band and have the show happen in real time is really key to our future as a company."
