This is a thank you letter to every person who has listened, watched, shared, liked, tweeted, commented, sung to, and danced to my newly released single, “Wild”. With over 700 views on YouTube, countless likes and shares and comments, and all that jazz, all within just two days.. I cannot tell you how much it means to me. Thank you so much for your support, your kind words and love.
This past year has been one of the most difficult years of my life, and trust me, there have been a few, just like I’m sure many of you have experienced in one way or another. Today I went to see a specialist to find out if I needed surgery for my back. The doctor advised against it because of my age, saying that it could cause problems down the line as I get older. So I am going to have to continue to tough it out, and work through the pain. For anyone who has ever suffered from a back injury, or in my case, severe spinal stenosis, you will understand just how painful, debilitating and life changing it can be. There are days where I literally cannot move. I have to completely rely on others to look after me. And when the pain becomes unbearable, all I can do is cry in agony. I am so fortunate that the issue we all feared is not cancer, and I am not comparing my pain or unfortunate circumstance, or trying to sound like the only one experiencing pain. I am simply saying that my personal journey for the past while has been a difficult one. But the moments where I read your comments, or see your shares and likes and tweets -any kind of support, it fills my heart and is the most incredible feeling in the world. For a moment, I almost forget the pain. So thank you for giving me the best medicine in the world. Love and support are the most incredible pain killers out there. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I am really looking forward to finishing what we have in the studio, and to release my next album in the new year. I hope you will continue to support “Wild” in the meantime, and look forward to the next batch of songs. They are just as much mine as they are yours. We all go through difficult times in our lives, and I hope these songs will give you, what you have given me; support, comfort and love.
Thank you for everything.
All my love,
ROYAL
