I actually cried watching this. I didn’t know Joey and Christian went so far back. God rest his soul

I was lucky enough to see this show LIVE! and witness the love between Joey D, Christian McB and Mark Whitfield onstage. These cats burned... and Mark and Joey were ON! So sad Joey is no longer with us. RIP
