Jelly Roll opens up about psychological well being struggles throughout Australia tour

Country music megastar Jelly Roll didn’t take pleasure in his time in Australia for a variety of causes. But none of them needed to do along with his followers or the handful of performances he had whereas touring the nation.

Instead, psychological and bodily points took a toll on the “I Need a Favor” singer who was in Australia for roughly two weeks not too long ago.

“I naturally have an uneasy stomach,” he said. “When my stomach’s not right, nothing is right. My mind’s not right, I’m just not thinking clear. All I’m thinking bout right now is ‘why does my stomach feel like this?’”
