JESSE LEACH Admits 'It Was A Little Difficult' For Him To Sing HOWARD JONES's Lyrics When He First Rejoined KILLSWITCH ENGAGE

In a recent interview, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE singer Jesse Leach shared his experience of performing songs originally by former frontman Howard Jones. He admitted that it was initially difficult to connect with the lyrics but has since found a personal resonance with them.

Leach explained that transcending the challenge required understanding the emotions behind the songs. After touring and singing them continuously, he now feels a strong connection, allowing him to present the songs genuinely on stage.

He acknowledged preferences fans might have for different singers in the band but stressed the importance of delivering an authentic performance. Leach believes it's crucial to immerse oneself in the song, regardless of who wrote it.

Howard Jones, who left the band in 2012 due to personal struggles, has since pursued his music career with DEVIL YOU KNOW and LIGHT THE TORCH. Jones shared his journey of overcoming mental health challenges and how he returned to music.
