Miller was set to go on tour next month. On Thursday night, Miller posted a video with his song “So it Goes,” which says: “Nine lives, never, die, f*** a heaven, I’m still gettin’ high.” Miller also recently discussed dealing with anxiety and fame in the public eye during an interview with Vulture:
There’s pressure. A lot of times in my life I’ve put this pressure to hold myself to the standard of whatever I thought I was supposed to be, or how I was supposed to be perceived. And that creates pressure … It’s annoying to be out and have someone come up to me and think they know. They’re like “Yo, man, are you okay?” I’m like “Yeah, I’m f*cking at the grocery store.” You know? It’s the job. This is what I signed up for. So, you just have to not. You have to have your own reality and that has to be the driving force of your life. Do I wish that every single thing I did when I was 19 wasn’t a discussion? Sure.
