Jelly Roll's new album is officially here, and it's dominating the airwaves. And he surprised us all, by releasing a deluxe version called, "Beautifully Broken (Picking Up the Pieces)", that has six bonus tracks, in addition to the 22 on the main album.
All six of these bonus tracks are collaborations, too. It features songs with Halsey, Keith Urban, Ernest, Russ, Skylar Grey, and his song with MGK, "Lonely Road", made it on there as well.
And, it was just announced that Jelly is getting his own bar on Broadway in Nashville, that's called Jelly Roll's Goodnight Nashville.
But a new album and a new bar aren't even the biggest news in Jelly's life right now. The most consequential news of all, is that he has lost 100 pounds. And he's still going strong.
He sat down with Joe Rogan, and got really emotional detailing the intense journey he's been on losing all this weight. He's such an inspirational human being, it makes me want to get healthier, too.
Jelly said, "My band has watched me fight cocaine addiction, they've watched me figure my life out slowly. And they knew the last mountain for me was food. So we started putting a real structure around it. I hired a real nutritionist, I'm only eating his food."
"What I've learned is, as I'm losing the weight, by nature I wanna go walk and do more stuff. Because I'm lighter, I feel better."
