The Hard Time hit-maker went on to add, “They told us they felt alone a lot of times,” he continued. “And us sharing our experience helped people feel less alone, and feel like there were other people going through it and there was a community of people going through it.”

John also shared that after losing his child, he diverted his focus on his upcoming music album and some of his songs would touch on the loss of his unborn child Jack.
