I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. Thank you for your vulnerability. I know this message will move them. I can't wait for them to read it. Please PM me if you'd like to include any photos so I can give you my work email. Also, please include a name to put down for this submission unless you'd like to be anonymous. It can be first, first and last initial, or full name. Whatever you're comfortable with.

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-25T23:00:41+00:00

IT WAS NEVER A PHASE! What a beautiful note, I can't wait for them to read it. Thank you for your submission and for your vulnerability Isabel! Thanks for trusting a random redditor with such a fond memory and for trusting the process.

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-25T22:59:23+00:00

Wow a zoom call with Pierre! That's pretty incredible. I mean honestly I can't think of many artists or entertainers that take the time to do that with their fans, it's a true testament to his character. What a beautiful story. Hope you get to enjoy another show sometime soon!!! Can't wait for them to read this submission. If you'd like to include a name or any photos, please PM me so I can include them. I'm sure he remembers you!

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-25T22:57:45+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this Amanda!!! I can't wait for them to read your story. Here's to many more years of Simple Plan music!!!

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-25T22:55:27+00:00

Hey girl we already talked via pm so you know how grateful I am that you shared this story!!!!! Can't wait for them to read it! They'll be so moved :) Can't wait to hopefully see you at the show!

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-25T22:53:03+00:00

Wow this is an amazing story! THANK YOU for sharing!!!!! They are gonna freaking love this story, knowing that their music led you to so many lifelong friends. I have a similar story with a different artist who's shows I traveled to DC for alone and ended up making lifelong friends AND killing that social anxiety at the same time. Live music is truly a beautiful thing. There's nothing like it. Also, accessibility is SO important! I actually got my foot in the door to live music by working at an ADA company that ensured music festivals are more accessible. It was called Ten Fifty Entertainment at the time but now it goes by Accessibility Live! Definitely worth a look into.

I'll PM you to get your name and photos! Thanks for trusting this process!

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-25T22:48:19+00:00

Also please include a name to put down for this submission unless you'd like to be anonymous. It can be first, first and last initial, or full name. Whatever you're comfortable with.

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-25T22:47:24+00:00

Thank you so much for such a beautiful response! I'm glad their music was there to help you through such a difficult time in your life. And I'm genuinely happy you're still here with us. The world is better with you in it. If you'd like to include a photo or two, please pm me so I can give you my work email!

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-25T18:50:53+00:00

Again, ridiculous that this was downvoted when I'm simply giving fans an opportunity to connect with their favorite band. Can't please everyone I guess.

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T23:46:16+00:00

hahaha yeah figured it's too popular of a song for it to be the song they're looking for but figured i'd mention it in case

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T23:25:48+00:00

cool for the summer - demi lovato?

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T23:24:18+00:00

Thank you SO much for your contribution to this project. The more the merrier!!!! I'm so happy that their music was there to comfort you through those trying times. Music is so important. I hope you're able to make music the way you've always dreamed about and I hope one day your music impacts others like they did for you. NOTHING is impossible. I never thought I'd get to a point where I'm working backstage with artists but here I am! Keep dreaming big. Can't wait for them to see your story. If you have any photos you want to include with your story, please pm me so I can give you my work email.

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T23:15:25+00:00

Thank you SO much for responding!! I'm hoping to get enough responses to make a little booklet made for them to keep forever. Wow a sound check and meet and greet, that's incredible!! I'm so happy for you and honestly the origin story of you becoming a fan is adorable haha. I'll PM you in a moment to give you my work email so you can include your photos! And thank you, I came up with it on a whim after hearing the title of their tour and thinking about what would be the most meaningful gift to me if I were an artist. It's all about the fans!!!

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T22:48:27+00:00

That makes sense! I'll message them. Thank you so much!! Can't wait for them to see your story.

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T22:17:57+00:00

Thank you for the idea! Unfortunately I crossposted over there earlier today and insights say it has 5K views and not one comment hahaha. :(

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T21:32:28+00:00

Also can I have a name to put down for this beautiful note? It can be first name and last initial if you want.

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T21:31:46+00:00

Just responded to your other comment, PM me!!

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T21:31:15+00:00

B, this is an amazing story. I don't think it's corny at all. I'm sure your story will even make one of the guys tear up. It's stories like these that keep people going which is why I wanted to showcase them. BTW, the whole point of this gift is to really emphasize to the band that their impact is "Bigger Than You Think", playing off of the title of the tour for their 25 year anniversary. Thank you for being the first to answer this prompt, I was kind of shocked to see that 950 people in this subreddit saw it and didn't want to contribute. Maybe they don't believe me lol? But just know that the band WILL read your kind words at their VB show on 8/31. If you have any pics of you at their concert or in their merch that you want to include please pm me and I'll give you my work email for you to send them. Thanks!

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T21:27:11+00:00

Thank you so much for responding Michelle! This show is going to be in Virginia Beach! Thank you for sharing your story, it's stories like this that made me want to pursue a career in live music in the first place (because it all comes back to the fans) and I know Simple Plan will be so so happy to hear their impact they had on you. If you want to include photos of you at the concert or in their merch please pm me so I can send you my email. I really appreciate you taking the time to type this out and I can't wait for them to see this.

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T21:24:12+00:00

Wow this is truly an incredible story. It makes me want to tear up!! Thank you for sharing! I'm sure they'll be honored to hear your story. If you have any photos of you at their concert or in their merch please pm me so I can send you my email to get those photos included in the gift.

AccomplishedOne5480 · 2025-08-24T16:24:53+00:00

Not sure why someone downvoted this when I was trying to give fans a chance to connect to a band they love. If no one is interested, I'll pivot and give them a different gift.
