It’s just – I’ve got Tourette’s, so I’m just twitching quite a bit here.“It’s not an issue in the slightest, I’m absolutely fine.

It’s just this happens when I get like tired, nervous, excited, whatever. So it just gets more intense. I’m not doing it now at all because I’m lying in my bed in my pants.“But this is at the end of an hour-and-a-half gig and I’m dinging in.
