Description

Dan Reynolds is the Imagine Dragons front man and lead vocalist. The band has sold more than 27 million singles and 9 million albums. Their recent album, Evolve, went gold in less than a month and it continues to rise as they tour the globe. They’re kinda a big deal. But they haven’t always been. Dan shares things in this show that he hasn't talked about publicly before. If you want a glimpse behind the curtains and get to know the down-to-earth person behind the rockstar, you’re in for a treat. The Why Not Now? moment when Dan decided to drop out of college and pursue music full time. Dan talks about the phase before the fame when the band hustled and played in Las Vegas lounges. The various non-musical routes Dan explored during college. The very first song Dan wrote in middle school. We dissect the song 'Thunder' on the new Evolve album and talk through the meaning. The evolution of the band name. It wasn't always 'cool' and some of Dan's friends made fun of the name. Dan talks about going through a spiritual crisis and how it led to a massive realization. What Dan attributes to him having the healthiest year of his life. Dan's current Why Not Now? decision to be a vocal ally for the LGBTQ community as a spotlighted Mormon.
