Writing new music
The artist admitted to feeling anxious about releasing new music ever since he finished Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent.
'I’ve been writing loads of tunes I’m really excited about and I can't wait for you to hear them.'
'I really want to make sure whatever I put out next is the absolute best it can be, partly for my own sanity, cause I’m going to have to sing these songs every night for the next few years on tour, but ultimately for all of you who made the first album everything it was.'

He continued, 'Despite having all this extra time to write, all the COVID restrictions have made it harder to go and record the stuff I’ve been working on or even be around all the people I loved working with on the first album.'
'For that reason, it's with an extremely heavy heart that I’ve made the decision to reschedule this year's shows and put all my effort into making the best album I can for you.'

'I hope you understand'
Lewis shared the rescheduled dates currently confirmed, and said the rest of the dates should be announced soon.
'I hate the thought of letting anyone down, especially after the year we’ve just had but I know that, more than anything, getting the album right has to be my number one priority at the moment. I hope you understand.'
'I'm really sorry I won’t be out there with you this year but I’ll be back in 2022 with new music and a sh** load of shows in as many places as I can possibly get to across the world.'
