word you didn't get is "rider" (list of food/booze or anything a musician asks to have for a gig)

[@zachdods]

A rider is just what the band requests the establishment they are playing in to have for them

[@tomralph8540]

Hopefully folks pay attention to what Matt said about personal privacy and leave the lads alone when they see them in public.

[@eggman6888]

when does he say that?

[@starwarssiths4316]

@@eggman6888 he did not say that lmao

[@manar_6536]

I mean you can still approach them, ask for a signature or something, just respect their privacy by not interrupting if they’re busy or just clearly not wanting to be disturbed

Wait are the AM splitted up?

[@emalacmanovic7730]

i don't think so... they're probably just in quarantine and all though they did have that live at royal albert hall not long ago and i mean it took them like 5 years to release tbhc so they might just be on a "break" or sum

[@victoriamande]

they’re not , they’re just separated and cause of covid they can’t see each other because matt lives in america while alex lives in uk
