All these comments are extremely overwhelming but I appreciate it more than you know. Thank you for allowing me to be transparent and honest with you all. Can't wait for the next steps to to hopefully one day have this injury behind me.
Jake, I can't even begin to imagine how hard it was to be this vulnerable and make this video. I honestly had no idea how much pain you've been dealing with, because you just made it look so effortless on tour capturing all those magical moments and doing what you do best. I think that's a testament to your strength and resiliency. We love you and appreciate you! Thank you for existing and always always always remember how dope you are! ♥
Wishing you the best of luck and success with your surgery! As a Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco fan, I've been following your photography since before your accident, and I'm so proud and happy for you seeing how far you've come since last year! Here's to hoping the surgery is successful and that the chronic pain you're facing is eased! Hope to see you on tour again some time soon!
You are so so strong, Jake! From what we as the public have seen, it seems you’ve come SO far and I can only imagine how far you’ve truly truly come and every battle you’ve overcome behind the scenes. Love your positive attitude. Keep your chin up, you’re doing amazing. ❤
Jake, you are one of the strongest people i know, please never give up the good fight. We're all here to support you, and when you're ready to come back full time, or even part-time, we'll be here cheering you on on the the side lines! And i think i speak for a lot of others here when i say thank you, thank you for showing us that no matter how hard life gets sometimes, no matter how much pain you may be in, to never give up. As a fellow creator with a lot of severe physical and mental health problems, watching your journey, watching you strive everyday to get better, even when it's hard, has inspired me to keep going and to do better, and most importantly, to keep doing the thing I love most: creating. Thank you again, Jake, from me and the rest of the dark room, we love you, and we can't wait to see where the rest of this journey goes with you. Good luck with the surgery!! We're rooting for you!! 💕💕💕
I have no words Jake. Thank you for sharing this - I know it’s not easy to let your guard down and say the hard things out loud. Sending you love and support. And I’m totally not crying at work right now.
We are with You Jake, you're such a great human being ❤️ I will never forget meeting You i'm the Panic show in Phoenix where You give me a Vinyl and gave Nicole and Brendon gifts to them! All the love, support and goodluck! See You i'm tour with Panic! The next time!
Jake, I can’t even imagine how hard it was to make this video. You have shown such my bravery throughout this journey. I am so proud of you and how far you have come. I hope this surgery will help, we love you so much and are sending all of the healing energy your way.
Almost made me cry for playing that song. "As my memory rests, but never forgets what I lost". I just wish you all the best and for this surgery to help you live a life you deserve, without pain and with many adventures. You are such a strong person, I can't even understand how you could do a whole tour with Panic with all this, you got this. 💖
I know it’s nowhere near the same but I’ve had foot surgery this past year, I’m 32, it’s been the hardest thing I’ve had to do, dealing with lack of independence was the big hurdle. Always know to be nice to yourself and it’s okay to take things slow. I’m sending you lots of positive vibes to get you through this next surgery and will be waiting for any updates, even if it’s just photos of your dog. Much love from the UK.
Oh Jake! We're all here with and for you! You've been so strong! You've come so far! You can do it! You're not alone, we're all here supporting you! Even on the days where you feel like it's just to much, we got you! Hope to see you back on tour someday soon
You are so strong for pushing through so far, I wish you the best in your further recovery and that your pain is lessened as you go. Keep pushing and know that we're thinking of you!
Sharing with 'the world' must be overwhelming. The injury is overwhelming. You are strong and brave, resilient and a warrior. I wish nothing but the best for you. Praying for a successful surgery.
wow that note book hit me. You are so strong getting through a year of this pain. Can't wait to see how you will blossom again once you are all better!
i really, really hope you'll be feeling better soon. Stay strong, keep moving and never stop believing. Also thank you for sharing this. Insights like these show me how small my own problems actually are and they remind me of appreciating the beautiful little thing in my every day life enough.

Sending all the love in the world. I actually resonate with a lot of what you’re going through after my own health battle recently. It’s really inspiring to see how you’re dealing with all of this and keeping so positive although i know the reality of how hard the darkest times are and I’m sure you’ve had your fair share of those as well. You are amazing. Keep going ❤❤❤

I am absolutely so proud of you Jake. I remember when this all first happened I was devastated to hear of the news and to watch your journey of how you've healed has amazed and also given me so much hope for you and your future. Even since the accident you've toured with Panic already hustling your way around. I am so incredibly proud of you and how far you've come and wish you the best of luck in your next surgery
You live in a lot of world. Thank you for letting us into some of it. It wouldn’t be fair to say I understand how you feel, but I will say that you’re a fighter and you’re fucking knocking it out of the park, even on the days you feel that you’re not. So much love, and I wish you luck on the rest of your journey❤️

Jake no matter what happens you have the strength and the perseverance to keep fighting you’ve come a long way and I know you can do this! We all believe in you and you are still the strong and amazing person you were before this accident. Keep going!
Hi, I’m a disabled concert photographer and wanted to comment to show you some love. I’m 25 and relate to a lot of the stuff you said. Everyday I’m in pain, most days I use a cane, I have a rail for the toilet too, I’ll have to take baby aspirin daily for the rest of my life, etc. You WILL be able to do things you love, but will have to figure out what type of accommodations you need (this doesn’t make you a burden). Photographing shows and touring can be doable as long as your health team medically clears you. I stay off my feet as much as I can at shows, make sure I have pain meds on me, the bands I get hired to work with know a bit about my health and there’s tons of tricks and tools I’ve picked up along the way. If you need anything even just someone to talk about what’s on your mind with this I’m on IG, Psychi.Media You got this dude.
