The frontman also admitted that his confidence to lay himself out in a love song had grown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, I\u2019m no expert in mental health, but speaking for myself, doing therapy and sobriety as well \u2013 which has been a big thing for me to achieve in these last few years \u2013 obviously it was kind of scary in the beginning,\u201d he told us. \u201cThen once you break that wall down and realise, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m probably more creative than I\u2019ve been in the past and a little bit more in tune with what\u2019s going on, with my emotions\u2019. Now I think it\u2019s easier. I used to believe that maybe I had to be in an altered state of mind to have this creative thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall, having a bit of clarity and still being able to be creative \u2013 it feels more pristine. It\u2019s more polished and it\u2019s more honest, in a weird way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the band recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/deftones-and-dickies-reveal-new-merch-collab-3905685\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joined forces with Dickies to launch a new range of collaborative merchandise<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deftones are teasing a potential concert in London in 2026 with a series of billboards across the capital.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":561726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3936],"tags":[77,3982,3981,269,453,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-561725","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-live-music-news","10":"tag-metal","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-rock","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115526338750051716","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
