An artist's life is everything but easy. In this KZread short, you can watch James trying to relax a bit, even if it is for just a moment, because he seems to be under a lot of pressure and stress.

James was just always extremely cool, and still is to this day.

This time around he's like I'm staying off stage during the pyrotechnics cuz I got all these new tattoos.

Now I know how he keeps so much energy evenly through the whole concert he gets to go off stage smoke a bit of a cigar and a cup of coffee or a drink. Sit for a minute or two and re-energise and then go back out and amaze everyone that’s a good way to not get burnt out at a concert and it’s awesome to see
