\u201cThis is it. The second chapter of the Idols story,\u201d stated Yungblud. \u201cPart 1 was a journey that helped me reclaim my identity from the darkest position I\u2019ve ever been in my life. Part 2 is about realizing that I am alive, that I am real, that this journey that I\u2019ve been on didn\u2019t kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIt\u2019s about realizing that you can feel invincible when you actually feel yourself. It\u2019s about comprehending that my heart is beating and that my lungs are filling up with air.\u201d<\/p>\n

Physical copies on 180-gram vinyl and CD will be available for pre-order beginning Friday.<\/p>\n
