IT ISN’T OFTEN that an artist offers access to their private inner world, allowing us to learn something deep and vital about what makes them tick. Which is why this issue’s interview with John 5 is not just unique but also a gift to be deeply appreciated.
When John told me this past February that, I was intrigued. When he told me the gist of it, I not only felt honored that he chose our magazine; I also realized John was offering to relate a story that, beyond shedding light on his humanity and artistry, has the potential to have a positive influence on others who are dealing with grief, pain and other matters of mental health.
