Jimmy Lee is my older brother.
We're like 15 years apart.
And as far as I remember, as a kid, he was hooked on heroin.
He had a heroin addiction.
So, in my career, I've met a lot of people, a lot of friends in my industry and in other industries that have, you know, addiction.
So, somehow, I end up making an entire record about addiction.
You know, everybody has some type of addiction.
You know, maybe it's food, maybe it's coffee, maybe it's pain au chocolat, croissants, I don't know.
My addiction is, uh... music.
[ Cheers and applause ] ♪♪ But my brother's addiction was heroin.
So, but my brother was a really funny, funny, funny guy, a really nice guy.
I never realized that he was, um... what kind of addict he was, 'cause I didn't know anything about heroin, so every time I seen him, he just looked really, really happy.
But, you know, I figured out when we lost him, he died of a heroin overdose.
And so the record is not like a sad record.
It's about saying, you know, if you know somebody with addiction, you should take the time to talk to them or, you know, ask them questions or show them love.
You know, because I think we all have a Jimmy Lee in our life -- maybe not in your family, maybe somebody that you know.
So, I found myself going down this road recording this song.
This entire album is titled "Jimmy Lee," so what you listening to is "Jimmy Lee."
And we gonna get into some other stuff, but... if anybody know a Jimmy Lee, put your hand up.
♪♪ That's a good number.
So, we about to take you on a journey.
