Kevin Jonas Breaks Silence On 'Jarring' Post-Tour Depression
Kevin Jonas is opening up about a difficult period in his life that required him to see a therapist. During a candid conversation, the musician revealed that he experienced emotional burnout following the Jonas Brothers' last world tour and struggled to adjust afterward. He also revealed how touring affected his mental health and stressed the importance of therapy. While fans may see only the glitz and excitement of live performances, Kevin says life after a tour can be emotionally draining. Reflecting on the Jonas Brothers' most recent world tour, which concluded in Krakow, Poland, in October 2024, he admitted the transition back to everyday life hit him hard. During a chat with PEOPLE Magazine, Kevin said, "All the depression, blues, it's real, especially after a tour." He continued, "After our last tour, we did over 100 and something shows — it was too many — and we ended in Europe. I got on my plane to come home after I believe 130 shows, and I got on my flight — which was delayed terribly, which is never fun." Kevin's journey home turned into an exhausting ordeal. "I took the first flight out from Poland to go through Munich to get home and [was] delayed for like seven hours, and then they had make a random stop in Nova Scotia.," he explained, before adding, "So it literally took me like an extra 18 hours to get home, and I was already fatigued and burnt out by the time I got home." The singer's wife, Danielle, noticed something was off about him and spoke to him about it. He shared, "My wife was like 'Something's wrong with you, are you okay?' I actually had to go start talking to a therapist about it, how to process the highs and the lows. It's so jarring." The emotional intensity of performance isn't limited to tour life. Kevin also spoke about his brother Nick Jonas's current role in the Broadway musical "The Last Five Years," a production that explores the unraveling of a romantic relationship through music. "[Nick's] really has to live in this and I think he takes it home with him too, which is really hard if you know the show. It's emotional," Kevin said. He added, "Well, [Nick] leaves this theater — I think every single night — in a way, like, depressed and coming off of this emotional roller coaster. So, it's a lot to bear, and it's hard to take that with you." Although Kevin's performances with his brothers are generally upbeat, they still carry some emotional weight. He explained, "What I do every night with my brothers, it's joy, it's fun. The whole time. There's nothing emotional. There are emotional moments, we have songs that are hard to sing and whatever, but it's mostly fun. So even that I come off of that and it's tough." Despite the emotional challenges, Kevin Jonas is excited about the road ahead. This August, the Jonas Brothers will launch their "JONAS20" tour, celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band. The kickoff show will take place at MetLife Stadium in their home state of New Jersey once Nick finishes his Broadway run. Kevin said, "It's gonna be really special. You know, it's 20 years of the band, but really it's just about us going back on the road to celebrate." The "JONAS20" tour is coming a few months after fans of the band were left concerned following an emotional post from them in February, reflecting on their 20-year musical journey. The heartfelt message had many bracing for bad news, with some even fearing it was a breakup announcement. "To our incredible fans, as a family, we have been reflecting a lot lately," the letter began. "The brothers recalled humble beginnings, referencing their first album, It's About Time, and their days performing at small venues." "We were chasing our dream to play music and connect with others in a deep way that only music can provide," they continued. "We were teenagers then… actually, Nick [Jonas] wasn't even old enough to get into a PG-13 movie." Despite the sentimental tone of the letter, Kevin, Nick, and Joe Jonas were quick to assure fans that the band isn't going anywhere. "You've given us a thousand lifetimes of incredible memories," they wrote. "We wake up each day filled with gratitude that you've been on this 20-year journey with us." Fans flooded the comment section with reactions, with many of them relieved, while others poked fun at how dramatic the post first appeared. "STOP I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE ANOTHER BREAKUP," one comment read. Thankfully, the trio ended the letter with hope and excitement, noting, "We are celebrating this wild 20-year journey by doing what we love, and we can't wait to share it with you… The best is yet to come."

Nick Jonas Thinks His Broadway Role Could Be Helping the Knicks' NBA Playoff Run: ‘Coincidence? I Think Not'
The New York Knicks are riding hot as a rocket blast in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, and Nick Jonas has an inkling that his role in Broadway's The Last Five Years might have something to do with the team's success. 'OK, so real quick: The Knicks are in the playoffs, and they could advance to the next round if they win their game against the Celtics tonight,' the superstar explained in an Instagram video posted Wednesday (May 14). 'During rehearsals for The Last Five Years, I said to our director, 'I really think Jamie,' my character, 'should be a New York basketball fan.' And she was like, 'Great. What team?'

And eventually we decided to make Jamie a Knicks fan,' the pop singer-turned-Broadway star continued. From his dressing room, Jonas then showed off a vintage Knicks crewneck found by The Last Five Years costume designer Dede Ayite, explaining that he wears the shirt during every performance of 'Moving Too Fast,' one of Jamie's first big musical numbers in the show. 'So I'm not saying that the Knicks are in the playoffs and could potentially go to the next round because of The Last Five Years and because of this,' he then concluded, gesturing to his costume. 'But coincidence? I think not.' While the Knicks ultimately lost Wednesday night's game, they're still currently leading the Celtics 3-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and will have home court advantage going into Game 6 on Saturday night (May 16) at Madison Square Garden. Meanwhile, Jonas has six more weeks of his run on Broadway before The Last Five Years closes its limited engagement at the Hudson Theatre on June 22. After that, he'll segue full force into album mode, with the Jonas Brothers' seventh LP, Greetings from Your Hometown, set for release Aug. 8 — two days before the kickoff of JONAS20: Living the Dream Tour, the North American trek celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band.
