Jelly Roll hit rock bottom on his grueling foreign tour. The country star's music career has taken him thousands of miles away from his family and support system, but it was there that he faced one of the lowest points in his life.
In an appearance on the "No Filter with Kate Langbroek" podcast, Jelly Roll shared that the long-distance trip had taken a toll on his mental health. He described himself as "falling apart" and feeling "horrible" - a state of mind that he hadn't experienced in years. The singer also revealed that he was struggling with anxiety, which he said intensified when he realized just how far away from home he was.
Jelly Roll had been on tour for six shows across Australia before canceling his final concert in Auckland, New Zealand, due to illness. He admitted that the physical sickness had a ripple effect on his mental state, making it difficult for him to think clearly and feel right with himself.
The demanding travel schedule and lack of tour buses also made Jelly Roll feel like he was spending more time alone than usual. He shared that he would often be isolated in his hotel room by himself, struggling to cope with the illness and the pressure of performing every night.
In a candid moment, Jelly Roll revealed that even breathing exercises weren't enough to steady himself during this dark period. Instead, he relied on talking himself through it, and admitted that every part of him wanted to return to Tennessee. He wasn't alone in feeling this way - "Everybody wants to go home when they're sick," he said.
The tough tour coincided with another tense moment overseas. Jelly Roll recently shared a video of his experience with Louis Vuitton employees in Sydney, who treated him like a criminal during a shopping trip. The singer claimed that the employees looked at him as if he were about to rob the store, an incident that left him shaken.
Jelly Roll's openness about his struggles is not new. He has been open about his past addiction and legal troubles, including being arrested and charged with aggravated robbery when he was just 16. His experiences have undoubtedly shaped him into the person he is today, but it's clear that the pressures of touring still take a toll on him.
For Jelly Roll, the grueling tour had become more than just a job - it had become an emotional rollercoaster. As he continues to navigate the darker chapters of his past, one thing is certain: he won't be afraid to speak out about them.

. Touring can be brutal on anyone's mental health and I think it's amazing that Jelly Roll is being so open about his struggles 
. It's not easy to talk about your darkest moments, especially when they're public, but he seems like a strong person who needs to get these things off his chest 
. His experiences with anxiety and depression sound terrifying 
. I think it's awesome that he's using his platform to spread awareness and maybe help others feel less alone 
. It's like, yeah, touring can be an amazing thing, but it's not worth sacrificing your mental health for 
. Jelly Roll needs to get back home to Tennessee ASAP and take care of himself 
!
He's got a lot of guts sharing all this stuff with us, and I think it's really brave of him 
. I mean, who hasn't felt like just wanting to crawl under a blanket when they're sick or feeling overwhelmed? 
It sounds like he was carrying around so much emotional baggage from his past, and the pressure of performing every night must have been a real challenge for him.
. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to feel like you're being judged or looked down on just because of who you are. 
Anyway, I'm glad he's talking about his struggles and using them to help others (if that's what he feels called to do). We need more people speaking out about their mental health and the tough stuff they've been through 
.
People don't care where you've been, they only care where you are now. 
Your struggles may be your own personal storm, but with courage and resilience, you can find calm again. 
Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it - Jelly Roll's story shows that even in the darkest of times, our strength lies within. 
i can only imagine how tough that foreign tour was for him, mentally and physically 
it's amazing how far he's come from those dark days, but it's also super brave of him to share his struggles now 
hope he's taking care of himself now 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to go home when they're feeling down? And honestly, 16 and already dealing with addiction and robbery charges? That's crazy talk 
. On the bright side, he's got a sick voice and can write songs about his struggles - at least he's making money off his misery 
.
touring is not easy on your mind 
and we gotta be kind to each other 
mental health matters 
and we should never be ashamed to talk about our feelings 
jelly roll's bravery in sharing his struggles is truly inspiring 
and it's awesome that he's using his platform to raise awareness 
. For Jelly Roll, it seems like he was struggling to cope not just physically but mentally too 
. But kudos to Jelly Roll for speaking out about it and sharing his struggles with us, maybe we can all learn from his experiences 
y'know jelly roll's story is actually kinda relatable, even if he is rockstar material 
. touring can be a real grind, both physically and mentally, especially when you're doing it for extended periods of time 
. fingers crossed he's back on track soon and his music is sounding better than ever 
. I mean, we all know it can be stressful, but when you're traveling across thousands of miles and performing every night, it's a recipe for disaster 
I mean, who hasn't felt that way when they're stuck in a place far away from loved ones? The mental health struggles are so real, and it's amazing that he's being open about it 
I wouldn't wish that on anyone, being treated like a criminal in public. Like, what even is that?! 
Jelly Roll's story is a reminder that even with all our success and accomplishments, we're still human and we can still struggle 
. And being treated like a criminal by those Louis Vuitton employees? That's just messed up 
. I'm glad he's speaking out about his struggles tho - it's definitely eye-opening to see how the pressures of touring can affect someone's mental health
