The End

It's true, the end. What do you say when you don't know what to say? You get someone else to say it for you. Take it away, Sammy.





In my life there was a time before bills and responsibilities where I was deep into astronomy.

Studying the stars is fascinating: methodically assembling complex stories from scant clues. Each star represents an entire life—from birth to dazzling brilliance to eventually, fading out…death. Above us every night these ghosts faithfully twinkle as we engage in friendships and entanglements. We never let the stars be more than they could be; all we let them be is the stars not signposts to something greater more mysterious.

The potential of the stars is not laden in their ability to glow during the darkest of nights but rather to what we will let them become. Either as symbols, inspirations, neon signs pointing back to God, perhaps a silent symphony. The potential to what we will graciously allow the stars to be—to become—remains completely untapped.

This is not something sam Hell has experienced. He believes through all the love, support, encouragement he has wholly tapped his potential. This is as far as he goes.

The list to thank and the reasons to thank friends, family, fans, well wishers, industry folks would certainly out number the stars.

While the journey has not always been easy, it has always been blessed and valued as necessary. For now it appears this is a short journey.

sam Hell cannot say if this is the end, end…after all how many times have you heard a rock band say that before reforming many years later?

For now though this is an end, happily a new birth awaits. The best stories move effortlessly through many chapters.

Through it all the stars watch and wonder silently recording it all.

"People forget musicians are very giving people. They give this music and their time and their energy and their heart and their soul to the public, but they also have families and lives and friends and homes and sometimes they want to go experience that. And all we want them to do is to keep giving us their music."

Anthony Kiedis, Red Hot Chili Peppers
