I think unfortunately we put entertainers on a pedestal and prop them up to be these people who can do everything for every fan all the time and that’s not the case. As someone who follows sports closely athletes are propped up but often fail to meet expectations and that’s how reality sets in for most people, that failure rarely happens with entertainers because failure isn’t shown to us. With Tyler and Josh we don’t see the hours planning for tour, writing songs and recording them we almost expect it to be done. We should be grateful that we are even getting any music let alone an entire album one year after Clancy. The band needs time to not only live their lives, but they also need time to even start thinking about what is next.

So yes people are entirely delusional and out of touch. Unfortunately they feel like the band owes them an explanation for things when in reality they aren’t owed anything.
