WHAT IS GOING ON WITH CHRIS DREW FROM NSN? 

Thank you for doing the research. In my opinion he did too many psychedelics and broke through into limbo. He heavily abused extremely psychoactive drugs for years and is probably just pursuing the life he sacrificed his normal teen years for

It's crazy to me that MCR and Paramore are selling out stadiums these days, and this guy was like the emo Justin Bieber and everyone forgot

No offense but this video doesn’t say much or anything except rambling and general opinionated speculation. It seems that you’re just freaked out about the dissonance between the image of him you had in your head and what you think he should be like compared to what you believe he’s become. Calling him a bum over and over cause he had face tats and lives a lifestyle that goes against what you think he should be doing is a little closed minded. Fame, addiction, and life in general are very complicated and nuanced things

I got told his brother died, so he might be going through alot right now. Might just be a bad period of his life. I hope he finds his way back to his family. His heart is good.

I’m so disappointed in many of the singers from that era tbh

I appreciate this video more than you know! I'm 30 so he was a HUGE deal when I was in like 6th-8th grade haha. Sadly, often times the ppl who push themes of love, harmony, etc, are often the biggest abusers/narcissists/etc. Also, his management just pushed that for his image. The endless drugs and psychedelics he did didn't help. It also didn't help that he was touring with other bands, mainly men, who pushed that onto him. However I'm not justifying anything he did! He should have made better choices and now it's just at a point of no return for him. However you can still look back on that nostalgia and be happy about it :) Now you just don't have to idolize this man. That doesn't chang who you are or the lessons of love and empathy that YOU picked up over the years ❤

He inspired me so much growing up he was like everything I aspired to be I loved him so much and I’ve worried about how he’s been for a while now I’m 24 and ten years ago he seemed to be a completely different person… idk what happened but it’s kinda sad

I'm really glad you put this out and it's good to know there are fans like you to keep memories alive

I’ve listened to NSN since 09/10 so since I was 10-11. Christopher drew has always been such a huge inspiration to me. So seeing him now makes my heart hurt so much.

He's in a deep depression phase, he abused drugs a lot, he's in limbo, every year he announces a new album/band/project, sometimes he drop the project on souncloud/spotify/etc, but then he gave up or deletes, he made peace with Ana, she says it. These days he says he's clean and sober, but his stoned face him says otherwise. He needs friends to support he's, and he's need a psiquiatry, I think he suffers from bipolar and identity crisis.

Thank you for letting everyone know he needs some help. Where are his fans when he needs them the most… he’s out there with no one and probably having some mental trouble and drug issues. My mother is same way and it only will get worse. I’ve seen it. Everyone cares so much for him but sit and judges him because they aren’t going through what he is. I don’t care I hope someone near him sees him and offers him a hand because I would. In this world we all should be asking if each other are okay and helping one another. The nicest people always get stabbed in the back and turn into someone they never thought they would be. Life’s impossible without love. But I will always admire him because he took me out of some of the darkest days of my life with his music & honestly wish we could all do the same for him

it’s a shame because i watched an interview with NSN and Bryan Stars (#1) and loved him. He seemed so carefree and, yes, had love to give. Second interview I knew his point of view but also was put off by his change. Sad to see this

Dated his little sister and stayed at his place from time to time. Fame and drugs can be a bitch. And loosing his brother was horrible man. RIP David Ingle

thanks for making this video

its just weird man, i wish them all the best but also he's...just...

To put it bluntly, I’ve been around enough crackheads to know what I’m seeing. He really believes in his own grandeur and that type of personality is ripe for addiction. Hopefully he can touch grass and realize he needs to get help. But it really seems like he’s going through a drug induced psychosis.

People make the mistake of thinking famous people are these god like creatures that are smarter, stronger and perfect then they are. It doesn’t matter what you do in the entertainment industry actor, radio host, musician or whatever when ur a professional it’s all about keeping ur public image as good as possible you want everyone to think ur perfect, you never want to have any negative things come out that can ruin ur career. When musicians sign major label record deal for instance it’s not just about the music they want to make sure the band has as good of a public image as possible this means the labels want control of their social media so a band member doesn’t get drunk one night and post something messed up or anything happens and they post something to make them look bad, they will scrub the band’s social media and likely want the members to delete their personal accounts and make new ones so a crazy fan doesn’t go back 15 years ago and find a messed up post, they are told things to not say in interviews, told how to act at events, how to dress, if a band member gets into legal trouble the label will do anything they can to make it go away or be as quiet as possible which sometimes is paying a person off so they sign a non disclosure agreement so they can’t talk about it and they do all of this because they put a ton of money behind bands so they don’t want something to come out and end the band or make them less popular because they loose money. Now not every band is like this or forced to be like this but the really famous people this is a regular thing. Also you gotta remember when a band is at a venue or a signing event or meet n greet they are getting paid really most any time you see them they are technically working unless they are at Walmart or eating at a restaurant so even if they are a mean person they know they gotta put on an act. Just think about working some job say ur working at Walmart and a customer is rude to you but u gotta be nice to them or u can get fired well it’s the same concept but a band or musician can do literally one thing and end their career so making everyone think ur this perfect person is in ur best interest it’s what u gotta do. Musicians are just people too they just have a cooler job. There are many times where people have told a musician how a song helped them through something tough and have this perception about the meaning of the song and the musician tells them the song doesn’t have a meaning they wrote the music and just made words fit or they talk about how much they hate the song and it changes the way the fan looks at the band. Sometimes it’s better to not meet ur favorite artist and not know much about them and for what it’s worth it’s really not a fan’s business to speculate what’s going on in a musician or any famous person life because that’s how rumors get started.

I find it rather naïve to look up to someone like some perfect god and be disapointed when you find out hes just like anyone else. He just a human he is flawed just like all of us. I wouldnt say he is a bad person he is human. Ive had a psychedelic bender too and was filled with love but eventually it can lead to some dark places its just 2 sides of the same coin. I never idolized people like you and some kids do and I'm thankful. I cant imagine being hurt by someones own actions that have nothing to do with me. I cant believe you called him a bum. I just found this band and I dig him for who he is. Dont have expectations of people and you'll be a lot happier. Flaws in someone who seems flawless can make you connect with them on a deeper level it makes you realize they arent superman and that they are in fact a person with their own problems. You liked the idea of him not his entire being. Destroy ur ego and you might be able to make sense of it

The last time I saw him was at the last NSN concert in Mexico, I didn't realized it but my friend told me that he was so high and he seemed to be like that most of the time and when I saw his posts in his ig i barely recognized him... I really hope he gets better.

I hope you know he is sober now and doing amazing! He's back to spreading love!

That's crazy af what happened with him. He had so much damn talent, a "big" international hype for a long time. Here in my country (brazil) he had a legion of fans. I hope he find peace and happiness, we know that we never gonna see him doing music again, or being like the old chris. this old chris that we used to know died a looong time ago. Your songs and your messages will never be forgotten tho. ❤

Thank you dude. I haven't listened to his music in a while....I looked him up and it said "former artist" and lowkey freaked out! Him and I are same age and this is just sad :( but thank you!

thanks for your honesty. it's hard to let go of someone who means so much to you when you thought you could trust them

No one is all good and no one is all bad. We are multifaced, multidimensional beings! Don't idolize ANYONE EVER. At the end of the day these people are just that, people.

🤔 along with the drugs I think it has to to do with his heavily Christian upbringing. When his music started to change and he started EatMeWhileImHot he realized he was unintentionally lying and just following a script. He started to do what he genuinely wanted and stopped wording things like "every girl is beautiful". That was the start but not necessarily a downfall, it just takes time to find yourself in the mirror if you've never used one your entire life/for 18 years. Chris doesn't wanna be a parent. Tho I'm not saying he looks healthy. I can relate. Basically my upbringing with ADHD did the same to me. I was a fan too, clearly, but I guess I'm ok with him being different because I've learned to not use pedestals. I put my parents off of those long ago. No one's perfect. No one fully knows what they're doing. Everyone's winging it. People are people.

I love chris, and he still has a fan base. I hope he can turn things around

Actually screamed because of your ash poster !! 💙

He dropped the album and then took it back down the album is no where to be found am I the only one that thinks that’s weird

omg...i love him but he's really gone downhill :/ analicia deserves so much better

Honestly man I feel you he's my Idol to I talk about how I want to look like him every day and I even bought all the hats he wears I even have the warewolf hat he wears in the coffee and cigarettes music video but honestly never gonna forget back in August had a bad day at work and saw a live video of him and felt at ease.

The Chirs you love is kinda been gone since like 2011. His vibe and music was very much a product of his idols. I can relate. He was nice when I meet him in like 2013. There is good and bad in everyone. Some are worse than others but nevertheless there is good and bad in everyone. Most people just don't know any better. Chris with Michael Jackson made me go from hating music to loving it; and I started creating music and did a show and still do music and plan too in a big way. Not the type of music scene kids are into; I grew out of that but he inspired many I'm sure and you can take his good side and give it life through you. It's sad how bad habits and ways of thinking can destroy a person potential but we can learn from this and be better.

Man, I just want a follow up record to indigo or time travel or some shit. Lowkey fuck with the beatnik aesthetic

He looks so much worse now. It's heartbreaking

As a french canadian YOUR HAT TOOOO DAMN AMAZING.

If you watch documentaries he was actually very miserable ten years ago. he hated touring, he disliked his fans and felt like a sellout for warner bros. Today he's more himself than he's ever been, but christofer was a stage name anyways. His real name is Christopher ingle, and he's not afraid to hide who he is anymore. Hasn't been scared of anything since he dissed warner bros and made loveway tbh. What lives in your heart is a image, created by the corporations to sell out to fangirl children that Chris always hated. I feel like alot of people fell in love with that image, and some fell in love with his words. Talking about missing home and being a easily irritable and depressed dude but keeping it real, it gave alot of kids growing up a positive idol with a positive outlook on negative situations, real recognizes real and people use music as a form of therapy. the questions you asked yourself when you understood the truth of who he was, you can see hes admitted to the stuff you're going through now, songs like what is love made us think about what it's like to understand our idols aren't perfect, and despite knowing he wasnt a perfect happy person, he did his best to uplift others and bring positivity into people's lives. And that's rad in my opinion. If he could hear you call him a bum and talk about his personal relationships as disrespectfully as you have, he'd laugh. He never actually appoligized to brian stars, if anything brian stars appoligized to him in the third interview and admitted to editing the footage to make him look bad. I promise you Chris did not regret losing those fans or making bryan stars cry, because they never cared half as much about him as a person then he does for them and that's obvious. Im seeing myself how attached you were to a image that was clearly all a lie, and if you ever listened to any lyrics of his and really listened, you'd be at least humbled enough not to disrespect a father, his current and past relationships, and his own quest in fatherhood. But the way you were calling him a bum its very easy to tell you're still very attached to that image of a character who was never even real. Personally bro, 2012 is over. Its time to grow up, express who you want to be instead of letting corporations control your style, and realize people change and can be painted out to be one thing to some but be something completely different to others. Im happy Chris is even alive and I feel blessed to see him live his best life free from warner bros and corporate greed 💕

This breaks my heart💔 Chris was always my idol growing up, he was with me in my toughest time through his music. He was my childhood and hearing this breaks my heart. I hope he sees soon that he's worth more and he can be a better person for himself and his family. Can't help but feel a bit bad for him but I know I shouldn't because he did it to himself

Hi friend, I think that well, he probably was trying to believe this love thing because he also needed love in a moment and wasn't able to get it in the way it was needed, but when this metaphoric idea touches reality it can't be materialized bc reality is so much complex than that. As he was a support for you, you as a fan was a suppor of him and you still are. But as life goes on and time passes, probably Chris experimented an adulthood that wasn't what he expected and he probably dinyed many times the shadow of himself for embarresment and being not what he wanted/needed (please god, save his soul). In my teen years I had done trip drugs for my own and did things that I don't do anymore, so i can improve my health. But many of my friends at that time had this deep hole in their chest that even today they made this total chaos of their lives, sometimes is for family history or some like that and everyone of them need to found their own healing, their belief system and the reason on why they live. About you question on what to believe, just get to met people who you can see and touch in the reality, the first thing we can trust is the physical and through experience and feeling our feels (lol) we lear about people as we learn about ourselves. We can't control changes, but we can control our reaction about them. (I'm south american so i don't have so much great english.) Love and blessings.

Allegedly he is sober now. I hope he is speaking the truth and I hope he starts posting more.

Yeah, I've been following his new Twitter he made and he is truly unhinged. When his ex was going through her abuse I reached out and she (surprisingly) responded and answered a lot of my questions

Always love him 🧡

Does anyone know what the allegations against him were? I’m so shocked to hear this and super sad. He was a huge role model for me as well and when I heard he had a wife and baby I was proud of him. Sad to see he is going downhill

He’s in trouble he’s an addict

been following chris since 09/10 & i think ur kinda late on some stuff mainly he hasnt been the same for yrs now. Hes also been dealing with a lot of trauma & life bs which only gets worse usually the older you get. Also a lot of us use to abuse mdma & pyschedelics at that time but we were younger & now a lot of it is catching up physically & mentally

“Down to earth hippie” I never listened to much NSN, but I was aware of them and I’ve seen plenty of interviews. He always sounded about as full of shit as you could. His youth helped a little bit with the whole “free spirit” act, but it always came off to me as incredibly pretentious. Honestly, I couldn’t believe that someone could come off as more of a douche bag than Bryan Stars, but Chris nailed it that day. However, the guy is an entertainer by profession, so you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do in order to grow your brand, he just didn’t sound genuine compared to some of the legendary road warriors who came before him. The life of a touring musician is a grueling one and a large percentage of them come out very unhealthy on the other end. Christopher Drew’s visible junkie progression started over a decade ago. I could see that he was trending in that unfortunate direction every time a new picture would pop up of him somewhere on the internet, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise. Hope the guy eventually gets things figured out, but he’s probably got some serious demons. You don’t run away from home at an early age to live an alternative lifestyle like he did for no reason.

I think he was that man at heart and still is, but people evolve. Negatively or positively. He's just another traumatized soul.

I feel like a lot of this video is kind of shallow - the whole rambling "I won't talk about such-and-such" has always been a red flag to me, just don't talk about such and such and stop talkin about how you're not going to talk about such-and-such. The other thing is how we comments on how Christopher Drew looks. I understand speaking about his behavior, but if we are going to let people be open and do all sorts of things, whether it be identify as whatever they please, dye their hair whatever color they want, explore whatever hairstyle they want, wear whatever clothes they want, even though it goes against old social norms, then it's kind of crappy to call him a bum. He's getting older, let him look as he wants and be comfortable with himself for once instead of trying to prop up an image. As far as his behavior, he is honestly one of the more moderate people when it comes to behavior as a celebrity and his public relations. I met him only once at a concert and he struck me as relatively a pathetic but I mean he had to meet like a hundred other people, a lot of the fandom is a little crazy just like every fandom, and eventually you have to develop defense mechanisms. Early in his career he was more naive and thereby more kind, later in his career he didn't really strike me as particularly rude, I mean sometimes he was a bit of a douche, but you sort of have to be standoffish to try to ward off fans that are bothering you. People need a personal life and fans are happy to deprive them of it. Overall I'm still listening to the video, I just thought some of that was kind of sus.

Look I myself am just a young kid that recently really got into his music and dam, he’s been a big inspiration for me but dam to see this, kinda hurt

Spiritual lesson for y'all. Even the most softest, gentle and loving people have a dark side. Life isn't peaches and cream 24/7 and people who are like that are children, animals and posers......sorry dude .......

The ready set even looks better and is same age to

Thanks dude for uploading this, chris is my first mussician idol and hope he wikl get better, ammin

social media has fr ruined us all lol

I grew up with him and i remember how the first interview that he did with Bryan Star kind of changed my perception of life. It has been so sad for me to see how much he has changed although i know that he is his own person and lives his life how he wishes to. Since im from Belgium, im just so sad i never got to see the old chris in concert at least once in my life 😭 But well it is what it is !✌🏽

i'm sorry you learned that about him sweetie..but thats part of getting older thats why they say "never meet your heroes"

I had the same relationship with chris, also helped me recently when I was in prison

Good video, sad he changed. love all of his music though. I can understand that people change though, he may just be going through some shit, and come back happier than ever. I feel old compared to the other commenters though, i found nsn on myspace when he released his first ep, he's just a couple of years older than me.❤

it’s so weird how our reactions were so similar, i’ve been listening to NSN practically my whole life and I too have basically idolized Chris for being this person who seemed to have so much love. When I found out about what happened, I was so torn. I didn’t want to believe it, because there’s no way a guy like him could do those types of things. i still listen to NSN and they’re still a really big part of my life but now there’s a little part of me that’s like :/ No matter his actions the messages in his music still stands, we should all just love and be happy ＼(*^▽^*)/💗

Was he born in Oceanside , CA before moving to Joplin?

Don’t be a Bryan Stars my guy… Just love your light and life He wanted to make that change don’t misconstrue things you may care but that’s not how you handle it

Good video lad, i feel sad for Chris :( Best vibes

I followed his baby mama for a long time, and when she came out with all the allegations I was so saddened/torn by it all:( I hope he gets help I edited my comment cause I had named her and realized it wasn't appropriate.

I just did some diving and found their Twitter and she shared one of his posts in February of this year. Not sure when the breakup was but maybe they’re back together??

Just goes to show that dudes like him are all sweet talk, always a monster hidden underneath.

Did you really hide the name of the girl, but name dropped the name of the baby?

"I'm not going to talk about this..." (proceeds to make an entire video discussing nothing but that thing)

this the dood from nsn no fuckin way!

Subscribed cuz I grew up on bruh music 💪🏽❤️

Used to love his music! Maybe... 14 years ago! Just happened upon his old music yesterday and had a crazy nostalgia trip! 😂 then I started to wonder what Chris had been up to lately. Seems like the fame corrupted him, as it usually does. Separate the artist from the art! We all poop 💩 his work is still great

Life in the middle of nowhere in MO and hella drugs will do that too ya

"I dont know whats going on" also 'im concerned for there son, and im concerned for his wife" how can you be concerned for them if you didnt know what was going on with him.

You’re a kind soul but I think if the music made you strive to be positive then that’s all that matters.

I was disappointed too

Never meet your heroes man.

Thanks for the video! I found it while I was looking for an Unwinding bass cover lol Sad to see he's one of the bad guys now (or has always been) I was also a huge fan, I even cut my hair like him and got spiderbites when I was like 13 lol Anyway, I'm not surprised. People think weed and psychedelics are cool and not bad drugs but they are. He does look like a bum, and not in a cool way like in the old days. I hope his ex gf is ok and I hope he gets some help. Have a great day!

You deserve much better too💕💕

Thank you for this video, I feel bad for him I met him serval times he was a nice guy.

He was a good looking bum before 👀 that’s sad though he does look like he’s going downhill. So sad I didn’t get to see him live back in the day.

😢❤

💔

It wild bro.

He currently lives in my town along with his ex and his son 😊

I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the time about him calling this guy a joke ten years ago

Eh, he got older. We all get older.

I follow his sound cloud it’s not bad but it is...different. It’s introspective sounds and reverb. It was called Dryymy. Now it’s Kymica Records. He posted 4 months ago. I don’t know the dude I’m pretty oblivious to who he is too..

strange of you to talk about his looks like that???? he’s an addict and we’ve all known that for years now. good lord.

For not from

Who's Christopher Drew?

Imagine just finding out about nsn.. thats crazy

It's not him omg

He still looks very cute to me. …just a quick clean shave would help but I like him with the beard. There is a very cute picture of him on Instagram with him holding his newborn. I have always been in love with his cute feet and his soothing voice. Why do I have to be gay…why am I so alone…because this is who I am. I will not judge him if he is indeed still using drugs because I still indulge every once in a while because of my loneliness that is so painful. 😔

New album soon

Great video keep going man

Never meet your idols, guy.

Sounds like their was more to the story and people like you call it your possession

No Cristopher free noth happend now

Sweet bunk bed!

He was almost 30 and she was 17 !! He was never the same since he sold his soul to the devil!!

People change

I thank you for doing the research? He’s doing just fine Have you guys even hear his most recent music? Queen Cana??!! It’s amazing and he’s still amazeballs??

I just messaged him on Facebook and he read my message. You should interview him bro
