I was at the Manchester show and it was AMAZING. It blew my mind and KEVIN SHOOK MY HAND!!!!!!! Life made. My heart goes out Kirstin. I send her and Ben my love and wish them and their loved ones strength and peace. RIP Pascal. I hope your journey across the rainbow bridge was peaceful.

💔 Pascal

[@lorlorjb]

Got teary watching the Tribute to Pascal. My heart goes out to Kirstin & Ben.

[@mmg8823]

Me too. Bubba then Pascal? So close together? From the same thing? 😥

[@lucypreece7581]

@@mmg8823 don't upset yourself. Bubba was waiting for Pascal on thebother side of the rainbow bridge and now they are playing happily together in the biggest brightest field.

[@mmg8823]

@@lucypreece7581 Good point. It just seems odd that they both died from an aggressive cancer so close together. I'm wondering about food, an environmental toxin, and so forth. I hope Angelica gets Olaf and Floof checked out.

[@bartlettje]

Great show in London....so sad for Kirstin though 😢

[@beverlykrebs4372]

My heart is breaking for Kirstin, Ben, Elliana & Olaf & Floof. I saw that you'd posted a new episode Courtney & was ready to eagerly press play right away like I always do when I saw the heading & "goodbye to Pascal" stopped me like a train. Then I couldn't watch it until after I cried for a long time. I finally got it together & watched it. I'm not even over grieving over Nino & Bubba yet! I am an animal lover & an empath, so when someone loses a pet I just lose it. I have lost many beloved pets over the years. I am 63 now but it never gets any easier. Ever. Please tell Kirstin that my prayers & my love are going out to her. I am positive without a doubt sur that she will see Pascal again & he is now watching over her & her family while patiently waiting to see her again someday. I am really sorry that this happened during a tour. If it was me I would have trouble with my emotions while trying to sing & perform every night. I will pray that she will be given strength & peace. Courtney, thank you for the episode. I watched it all & tried to find happiness like I always do while seeing all of the videos & pics, but all I could think about was Kirstin & Ben. Luckily Elliana is still too young to know grief. I did take note of one thing though - is Mitch going to release a cover of The Hanging Tree???!!! I absolutely love that song & to hear Mitch singing it makes me love it twice as much. I am still wanting to hear him do some Kate Bush! I've been obsessed with her music since the 80s!! It would be a dream come true if Mitch did all the songs in The Ninth Wave!!! Mitch, if you read this, please do some Kate Bush! The Man With Child in His Eyes or And Dream of Sheep would be amazing! I love you all! You too Courtney! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@tersommers]

Balled my eyes out! I feel for Kirsten and her whole family. It's so hard to lose our beloved pets. Wonderfully put together, Courtney! Thank you!

#RIP the cutest Pascal, may the angel of a loved dog rest in peace.

My 💜 and 🙏 are with Kristin and family at this time 🐾🌈 to Pascal

[@chuckmccaslandsr.8859]

These five, are REAL PEOPLE! So loving, caring. Genuine, and hilarious! God bless them all, for such beautiful music, and for being themselves. I couldnt imagine the world of music without them!😊

[@caroleceres]

9 years since their last trip to Europe… and sadly, this is what they’ll remember! It was a fantastic show (in London), it was great to see and hear Matt, he and Kevin can truly be appreciated live! They need to be experienced! Notwithstanding that: How absolutely devastating for Kirstin to be SO FAR AWAY from her beloved Pascal… I’m so very sorry, Kirstin. 😢

[@PtxXtp]

I get what you’re saying just wanted to clear up that it hasn’t been quite that long since they were there. Last time in Europe was summer 2016. So almost 7 years

[@scottaholicclaire9013]

😢 Pascal. Heart goes out to Kirstin & family. Lucky to attend both London shows with VIP. 1st night from the barriers too! Had the most beautiful interactions both nights with PTX during VIPs & with the Pentafam. TYSM PTX for the amazing work that y’all put into your music, live performances & giving us Pentaholics your ❤ The incredible memories & friendships I have made so far whilst listening to y’all songs & attending live shows, I will treasure forever.

[@Ana-yc5ox]

How was the audio for the 2nd show compared to the first? I've seen complaints about the sound engineering from the first london show.

[@MSKPELLEGRINO]

My dog died unexpectedly yesterday. Took her in for an xray on her foot after she jumped off the couch wrong. Immediately after the x-ray the vet said she's dying. And then she was gone, 😢 hugs to Kirstie. Losing them is always hard. But when you don't expect it, it just steals your breath. RIP

[@silviawijering8195]

I am so sorry you lost your dog so unexpectedly. I lost mine last week also suddenly. I cried through the whole tribute. I feel for you and wish you strength and a lot of happy memories

[@MSKPELLEGRINO]

@@silviawijering8195 thank you. The love we share with our pets endures long after they leave us. I'm sorry you lost your pet, too. Hugs.

[@melissacoviello2886]

Definitely sobbing through the Pascal tribute. That broke me, particularly because I have a 14 year old bassist hound and an 8 year old for red lab. I feel so heartbroken for Kirstie, especially with how everything went down on Twitter.

[@debvit2353]

I’ve been there…it hurts so bad and never seems to get better. 💔

[@mjh8237]

I was barrier at London night 1 .. does not feel real. So cool to see them up close

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Whoah! Im accidentaly here very early! 😂 18 seconds! 😂

[@kristinewalberg2938]

A wonderful job as always, Courtney. I love them all, of course, but all the Mitch content this year gives me life. I always get so sad when I hear of someone, especially someone I like so much, loses one of their sweet fur-babies, and I'm still not over Nino and Bubba, so of course I cried buckets over the lovely tribute to Pascal. Much love to his beautiful family who cared for him so much.

[@gymnasticsgirlie0647]

Who is Nino?

[@saliartim7039]

​@@gymnasticsgirlie0647 Mitch's cat. She expired last year

[@LightningWithaTouchofMag-on7oe]

Beautiful tribute It’s always so incredible to see people love and honor their animal family members and this was no exception

[@frankagrilec4413]

The tour was awesome❤❤ i love them so much and its awesome how they can put so much proudness in us ❤ the crowd there was so nice ❣️ Courtney thank you for sharing these people') (like? 😊)

[@thechomiji]

I love them miming and vibing to Kevin's 5th behind the scenes, and Hausdo's footage of his family ... which makes the Pascal tribute even more painful.

[@Lavender2004]

I loved this one. Like I said before in the previous post, I'll keep Kirsten and Ben in my prayers as they wish Pascal bye.

[@df5199]

Loved the music selected for the Pascal segment. Vey emotional. ❤

[@maxinecheshire9628]

Thank you so much for the amazing videos each week. I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into each and every one. I was meant to see them in Brisbane Australia in March but my dear mum died the day of the concert 😭 When I've been feeling sad I listen to some pentatonix and it helps lift my spirits. Love this group ❤️

PS Hope you enjoyed the UK!! Enjoy the rest of your Tour. God Bless and stay safe. ❤❤❤❤🙏🇬🇧🫶🙏🇬🇧🫶🫶

Wow, thank you for these videos. Pentatonix never seizes to amaze me!

Oh WOW Great Husky’s. So flipping cute. 😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤

[@beverlykrebs4372]

Pascal just passed away. That's why they posted all the pics.

[@karenkilner1090]

Loved the London show on the 4th May. First time seeing you live and hopefully not the last. Thank you x

[@jlee954]

Thank you Courtney. Love seeing Elliana fly through the air like Super Girl! But breaks my heart that Kirstin couldn't be with Pascal. That's a tough one.

[@DonnaPoynton.]

I saw them in London 2 days ago They were Amazing my first time seeing them live

[@ilsebothof5201]

I'm going to see them Wednesday in Amsterdam. And this will be my first show too

[@silviawijering8195]

Sono tutti simpaticissimo Evi è bellissima .Mi piacerebbe vedere Mitch vestito più sportivo durante i concerti. Sempre bravi e bellissimi .Grazie del grande lavoro.

[@moniapirollo299]

Mi dispiace per Pascal

[@loriestarinsky2596]

do you know what happened to Pascal? He was pretty young!

[@PTXWeeklyNewsPWN]

Kirstin shared that it was aggressive cancer

[@radioactive_baby]

@PTX Weekly News (PWN) I knew Pascal passed away but to know that he passed from an aggressive form of cancer just like Bubba died is so heartbreaking
