I worked his show on backline in San Diego pre covid. I was taking direction from his mother, who I didn't know who she was, I thought she was a personal assistant or something, she was impressed by my professionalism and when Shawn arrived she introduced me to him and we shook hands and exchanged pleasantries. Shawn is nowhere near my taste of music but that always left a good impression on me. Kind of sad to hear he fell off.

People still show interest in him as a person. He just needs one great comeback album. People still want to see more from him.
