One month after announcing he would take time away from the road<\/a> to focus on his mental health, Eggy bassist Mike Goodman will return to the stage this weekend for shows in Baltimore, MD, and Rye, NY. Goodman shared a statement via Eggy\u2019s social media expressing gratitude to the band, his family, and fans for their support and for allowing him the opportunity to take a step back when he needed it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs most of you will know, I stepped away from touring to take care of my mental health these past few weeks, and I need to say how unbelievably grateful I am for the outpouring of support,\u201d he told fans. \u201cI would like to thank my family, my loved ones, and my brothers; Jake, Dani, and Alex, for standing by me, and having my back. I couldn\u2019t have done this without their love and understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to offer heartfelt thanks, writing, \u201cThe support from you all, our fans, has meant the world to me, and has carried me through this time more than words can possibly say. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, he expressed optimism about the future and excitement for his return to the stage: \u201cThis isn\u2019t the end of anything, it\u2019s the start of a brand new chapter, and I can\u2019t wait to be back on stage this weekend with the boys.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour continued love, support, and respect for our journey, and privacy when needed, means everything to me. I love you all so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
