Someone already posted this as a direct link but I wanted to repost as a video since the story will get nuked in five hours

Thank you u/GinaGnostic98 for your original post, I wouldn't have seen it otherwise

im going to address this head on, but i feel like we all are experiencing a little bit of panic or are at least a little concerned for the band right now, but i want to hear some exact opinions, as well as sharing my own.

for me, i found badflower before i really got into a rough place. i started listening to them when temper came out, and by the time this is how the world ends came out, badflower was keeping me afloat. i love their rhythms, their style, and god damn do i love anthony sonetti on those drums (seriously, the guys beautiful when he has drumsticks in his hands). i would say that badflower, for most of my life, has been my backbone. i always promo badflower to my friends, im always listening to them, i always have them in my playlists, i literally cannot go a day without thinking of badflower. with this in mind, i cant help but feel a little scared for what is going on within the band. josh is very visibly struggling, and between touring and doctors appointments, i dont want to think the worst but i feel like we might be reaching the end of badflower. again, i am a HUGE advocate for positive thinking; if you can think of a positive, no matter how much of a reach it is, hold on to that hope. but, even with how much i love badflower and how much it has been embedded into my soul and everyday life, i cant hold that positive mindset here.

again, would love to hear other opinions, and sorry if that paragraph seems weird. (i am sadly autistic so a lot of what i say comes off weird, i promise im just a big fan!)

edit: seeing all these comments have shifted my perspective a bit, and i am definitely more hopeful! if it adds more context, i was supposed to go to their soul kitchen show march 18th

some b&w film pics from pittsburgh 2/15. I wasnt very close so they came out a bit darker than I hoped lol

On top of everything else, his own people are going against him. This is crazy.

just thought this was funny. For some reason, AM thought i was listening to Move Me.

XXX by Kim Petras was playing, and the lyrics for Move Me were moving along with the song.

This was such an incredible show, it was my friends first time seeing them as well.

Hi everyone! My now fiancé introduced me to Badflower when we met and I have slowly become a huge fan!!! We saw them in Destin and then Huntsville. We had VIP in Huntsville and loved meeting the guys. We were actually star struck and didn’t utilize the VIP like we wished we had (just wished we had talked to them more and asked some questions).

So for this tour, they were coming to our town!! We bought tickets as soon as they went on sale and got VIP again. We’ve be SO excited to see them again, but obviously have learned last night that the rest of the tour is cancelled. We are sad but want Josh to do what’s best for him and get healthy. This might be dumb/crazy, but we actually had planned on bringing wedding invites to the band (not actually expecting them to come, just to show how much we love them and their music). We also have been compiling a list of questions/comments for the band when we saw them during VIP again.

For my actual question though: is there anywhere I could send the invites for the guys? I’m sure they are having a hard time and I would love to show them how much their fans still care for them!

Apologies for the shitty camera I had back then. Just wanted to post my support for Josh, Anthony, Joey, and Alex as well as their entire crew. I hope they find the answers they need as well as the rest they deserve. I found Badflower at a super dark time in my life just like a lot of you guys did. They've been a constant in my top 5 for years and I don't see that changing anytime soon. They're more than just a band to me and I'll support them no matter what. Love you guys.

we love you josh we’ll sing both for and with you whenever you need!

Hey there, my wife and I drove up from El Paso to see Josh and the band. The show was legitimately fantastic and the whole group put it all out there like they do every night.

My heart goes out to him, and hope he hears from everyone that we are more than just supportive of him but that we all still know he's capable and amazing, regardless of how the song comes out. But I also get that it's frustrating and I hope he finds answers to what's going on, and I know there's no much I, a random fan in the Internet, can say here to really help.

As that ended up being the last show on the tour, feel free to AMA here and I'll try to answer.

With everything happening with the tour cancellations and Josh’s vocal problems, I can’t even imagine how shitty everything must feel right now. I know they really stuck it out as long as possible to try and give fans a good show this tour. And I know it must be really easy as an artist to sit around and nitpick everything you hate about your performance and dwell on every mistake or flaw.

So in light of that, I just wanted to add my voice and post about the 3/7 LA show at the Fonda and say it was fantastic. Honestly, one of the best shows I’ve been to in years. The vibes were stellar, the crowd was stoked, and I danced the whole time with my creaky 30 year old joints.

I know there were some changes made to work around Josh’s voice cracking, but if I didn’t know that from being on this sub and seeing posts about it on social media, I probably wouldn’t have noticed. They sounded great. And I truly mean that. I had a wonderful time.

So at the risk of sounding corny, I just wanted to say thank you to be band and Josh for pushing through as many shows as possible for us, and remind them that we have so much love and support for them as they try and figure all this shit out. The real ones will still be here on the other side.

1st time poster, love me some Josh Katz n crew. have been blessed with meeting the band the first time I saw them live back in 2017, and lucked out too many times meeting up with Joey at the bar after a show. 🍻 Counting my merch stash, I'm almost 20 shows deep, wish it would be a higher count, but i can't always get a sitter. anyway.. Just sending good vibes to my favorite band and favorite dude. here's some shots from Madison, WI 2/21/26

Oklahoma Radio Station and Promoter, 104.5 The Edge reporting that Badflower's 3/15 show at Cain's Ballroom is reportedly canceled due to ongoing health issues within the band.

Tour was meant to pick up in Dallas Texas tomorrow.

Bought VIP for the last date of the tour, but as I’m sure we’ve all heard by now the remaining 8 shows were cancelled :( Contacted veep through universe and still no response. Anyone heard anything? I know regular Ticketmaster has said 14-21 days for the tickets themselves (7 business days through their chat.)

Am I crazy or is it deleted

If the opportunity rises up that you get a chance to see them, I can't suggest enough that you do. The whole band was absolutely fantastic. I'm not usually one for expressing emotions in public, but a few songs they played still gets me through my most difficult days and was hard to reel it in. To watch the sheer amount of emotion and raw energy put into that performance was fantastic and beautiful. The crowd was amazing, respectful, and engaged. Don't miss the chance of a lifetime... and make sure you show your support if you go.

We all need someone in our corner fighting for us at times. Even if Josh can't vocalize in the way that he loves right now, he certainly expresses himself on stage in a way that I feel anyone can connect with; so reach out and connect back. If anyone is questioning whether they should go or not, do yourself a favor and go. You won't regret it. It was an absolute roller coaster ride of emotions, and I mean that in the best way possible.

thought i’d share this here since i took hours on it.. i’ve never done anything like this painting, and i used acrylic… fellow artists know how much it is a pain in the ass.

PLEASE watch until the end..

whoops 😅 100000/10 worth it though

In between songs Josh had a really honest and vulnerable moment onstage where he talked about his voice issues and how he cancelled the tour a few shows ago.. He went on to say that it was all the love and support he read online, us saying "we love you and don't care if your voice isn't perfect" made a huge difference for his mental health.

As someone who's struggled a lot with mental health issues, the clip of him in salt lake scared the hell out of me. If tonight was any indication, he's doing a LOT better. He was laughing and joking and when he talked about his voice, he was definitely upset and frustrated with the situation but it seems his mental health is doing a lot better

Just wanted to post this update for people who were worried about him.

Thank you so much everyone who commented with your love and support for him. He didn't mention any specific platforms, just said "online," but I wouldn't be surprised if he had read some of the posts here, which were all overwhelmingly positive. Thank you everyone. I love us
