During the Boston show on Friday evening, Dave also spoke about the loss of his band mate and close friend Taylor — revealing that performing without him has been difficult. “I’m gonna do it for Taylor’s family, and I’m gonna do it for Taylor, because we used to sing it together,” he said to the audience at one point. “So our band is truly like a family. Because we’ve been together for so long, we truly love each other. So tonight, all of our families are here because we have to do this together,” he also said in videos captured on social media.

“[It’s] funny feeling being up here with you guys tonight, but I feel like let’s do it together, we can make this thing feel alright,” he explained. “It’s different now.
