or number four on the chart?’ And it embarrassed me. Sitting on my own in a hospital I was embarrassed and in that moment. I said, I knew, I didn’t say it, I’ll never go on social media again, I will never look at a critic, I will never read my name. I know it sounds strange. But from that day, which was Halloween day, I never again read my name in print. I never will. I never ever post. I mean they asked me to do something, holding the camera ‘Hey the record is coming out’, never, no more, none of it. That day I understood, I thought, ‘Wow, I thought this mattered to me.’ It’s funny, the Christmas record, I had stopped doing my Christmas special and, you know, I stopped doing it because I was worried that people were saying I was a Christmas guy. And in that moment too I thought, ‘What’s wrong with you Mike? This worried you that people were bringing you in to this beautiful, personal vacation time of family and love and faith and what? You were worried because there was a meme of you on the internet.


So you decided to come back to music? Noah was better. We didn’t know how it was going to turn out. My heart was broken, I don’t know. It wasn’t that I ever fell out of love with music. I just didn’t know if I had it in me to go out there and be joyful. It just wasn’t something I could turn on. Sometimes I feel like I’m just one small person, but I feel like there is a lot of power that one person can generate. We can all make a difference, and it usually comes in those random acts of kindness and putting love out there.


Is your faith important to you? I have my faith and I try never to put it in people’s faces, because there’s a lot of people who don’t believe the same things I do,


and that’s okay I don’t know who’s right, I really don’t. I can keep it simple and say I don’t know what there is or what there isn’t, but I feel in some way we are all connected. I know that each one of us gets to play a part in bringing goodness and humanity into the world. I feel like sometimes, because of the job I have, it can be magnified. If I can do that as best as I can, that can be my legacy.


And of course family…. My wife and I actually talked about this and we said, ‘My God, look at what we did.’ Here we were, she was twenty-three years old and I was thirty-two. We met in Argentina and we fell in love. Everyone told us that it was impossible. They told us not to do it, because it was too far away, the whole long-distance relationship thing. And we did it. We got married. Everyone said, ‘That’s crazy. That’s not going to work. And whatever you do, don’t have kids, because that’ll be murder.’ And then we had kids. And then there’s what happened to our family [referencing son Noah’s cancer diagnosis]. One of the first things a doctor told me at one of the hospitals we’d gone to, was to stay strong and help each other through this. A friend of ours, when we had asked why the doctors keep telling us that, this friend of ours who works with families going through things like this, said, that something like 92% of couples who go through this…get divorced. And many of the 8% who don’t, have [more] children. And of course, my wife and I thought, ‘Here we are with a beautiful daughter’. I don’t ever want to have to ever have to go on a date with another person in my life. Ever. She’s my best friend. I’m very lucky. I got very lucky. I married a great woman.


So what helped you through the dark times? My faith, honestly, I’ve said this so much it feels like it’s weird
