Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix told We Are Hear that the coronavirus quarantine has forced him to focus on his home life. Shaddix explained, “It's really got me focused in on, 'All right. I've gotta be able to serve my family and be the best person I can be for them while I've got this time.'”
The singer said that the “silver lining” of the crisis is that he gets to spend more time with his family instead of touring.
Shaddix continued, “My oldest son is going away to college next year, so to be able to have this time where I'm confined in the house with my family . . . we're losing people, and that bums me out, but I'm trying to find a silver lining, and the silver lining is that I get to spend some more time with my family. I get to slow my whole pace of my life down and kind of try some new things.”
Papa Roach had been touring Europe in support of its Who Do You Trust? album when the pandemic forced the band off the road. Depending on what happens, Papa Roach has plans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its Infest album later this year.
