At the time, he still needed space to mourn the death of his mother, who had died years earlier during a string of Lollapalooza performances in South America. Admitting that I might not have stood up, I turned to alcohol for a quick fix while maintaining a tight schedule.
However, the healing process Skrillex has undergone over the past year has left him feeling renewed.
“For the first time in four or five years, I have found a new sense of peace,” he added. “It has taken a lot of hard work and sacrifice to get here.”
Skrillex will be swinging in 2023, releasing two big hit singles, “Rumble” and “Way Back.” They are believed to be just the tip of the iceberg for the release of their long-awaited double album, which he confirmed will be released this year.
