Caught him at the gate and he wasn't even pretending.

Saw him trying to leave through the back entrance of the terminal tonight. Bleached hair, hood up, but he stopped for a full thirty seconds to stare at his phone—not checking emails, just swiping through photos of what looked like a watch. Then he completely ignored his manager who was trying to hand him a tablet and just walked away into the private lounge. He looked exhausted, but the second he saw someone trying to snap a shot, he didn't even yell, he just shook his head and kept walking. It felt like he was counting down the minutes until he could finally stop being 'him' for a while.

Reply to realist_01: Blackout week? Is that even possible for someone with his reach?

He's definitely planning to disappear for a few days. That 'check out' energy is real.

Reply to theoryguy: He deserves it, honestly. Look at that schedule.

Glad I wasn't the only one who saw him just drop the files like they were nothing.

I was there too, he looked way more 'at home' in that hoodie than he ever does on stage.

Not the first time he's dumped his work gear mid-run. This guy does what he wants.

He’s human. He just wants to turn the alarm off for once. Let the man sleep.

The manager looked terrified though. That's the part that gets me.

Everyone is saying he's overworked, but he looked pretty focused on that screen. Could be a private project?
