In a November interview, Scott revealed he was not in a good place after the order, suffering ‘rough months’.
‘Making music, you think about things that go on in life and things that happen in your life, and you dial in on things,’ he told GQ.
‘That moment for families, for the city, it was devastating. And when it came to making, like even finishing the album…I got back into it probably like, I don’t know, months and months and months after.’
When asked how he felt after the tragedy, Scott replied: ‘ I mean I was just overly devastated.
‘It has its moments where it gets rough and…yeah. You just feel for those people. And their families.
‘I always think about it. Those fans were like my family. I love my fans to the utmost.’
