This decision follows his recent public statements on the subject. As a public figure, Black is known for his irreverent humor, which has sometimes gotten him into trouble with conservative audiences.
“It’s not just about the jokes, man,” Black continued, his hands moving with intensity. This world, and the joy and contemplation it brings to others, is important to me.
I feel like I’m hitting a wall whenever I attempt to achieve something significant. I need to find a place where I am valued and understood.
Clueless tweets and Instagram postings about a big life transition have been fueling rumors of Black’s leaving for weeks.
The actor praised his fans for their unfaltering commitment throughout the years, but nothing could have prepared them for the heartfelt goodbye he gave. He fought back tears.
“The music, the laughs, and the crazy adventures we’ve had together are memories that will never fade,” Black said, his voice falling from anguish.
