"You know that moment in a song when the drums first kick in? When the music builds into an anthemic chorus? When the bridge HITS with the emotional pulse of the whole song? That was the journey Wibberley and Siegemund-Broka took me on with The Breakup Tour. I ached for all the reasons Max was saying no to the life he wasn't sure he deserved -- in the public eye, performing night after night. And all the reasons Riley had been saying yes for years, her talent and fame taking flight even as she couldn't forget the one person she'd left behind.
