Your capacity to love is immense. You're a true icon. Not just a music icon. A great human being. Sending love, light and prayers to your wife and family.
Can we demand a regular visit from Jon? I know once a month might be hard, but how about every other month? Just have him pop in for a chat, or jump in for a song. So awesome to see this!!
Perhaps that's why the man looks razor sharp in the clothes he wears- clothes that FEW people could pull off. Jon is one of the most beautiful people to have walked the earth.
Probably Jon's "gentle soul" and his being so gifted, how he developed his talent, are related. - No reason to step on toes when you're going your own way.
I am so glad that the world has found Jon. He is the most musically gifted person the world has seen in a very long time. On top of that, he is truly a beautiful soul. Just a sweet person. I wish him and his family well.
Sending Jon and his wife so much love! We who have watched the show for a long time are so happy for his success and wish them both love and good health.
I was just thinking about Jon! Glad to see him again! HUGS Jon! I'm dealing with cancer alone, so I haven't been able to keep up with Jon! So happy to see his beautiful smile again! Thanks Steven!
Sending you tonnes and tonnes of love, admiration, and belief in you - just you, not any particular outcome or choice or moment, but that you are doing the very best you which is just plain perfection - today and any day you feel alone. I promise. ❤❤❤❤
I will never try to discredit the fact that you feel alone - without friends or family there besides you - but coming from someone who has a very stormy brain quite often, I hope you know you're not TRULY alone. Befriend a nurse. Befriend a cashier at the local convenience store that you maybe stop into for a (near) daily Diet Dr. Pepper (not like I'm pulling from personal experience on that one.. 🫣). And perhaps easiest of all because you can do it from bed, your couch, or anywhere, reach out to someone random online. It often seems like people suck, but even my cynical-curmudgeonly self can admit there's ways to find good people. You just have to ask. 💜💜 Same to you, @doricetimko5403. Best wishes for you both and your improved health, friends.
Jon is one of the most seemingly genuine, loveliest, kindest people I've ever had the misfortune to not meet. I'm not religious, but if there is a God, may they bless you and yours endlessly, Jon.
@@atreyu2346 Yes. I cannot "know" there is a God. Nor can I "know" there is not. Hence "if". And the person who gave Jon his talent is Jon, through years of practice.
❤🔥Love, Love, LOVE Jon Batiste! What an inspiration and sublime artist and human being. One of a kind❣ Thank you for being who you are. Really enjoyed this interview.
Maybe save the adjective "sublime" for the one or two moments in a person's life that deserves it. "Sublime" will leave you shamelessly weeping. Dial it down a notch. Take about 20% off the top over there squirrly Dan.
Had the privilege of being at Carnegie Hall for the Symphony and it was just incredible. He's my generation's finest living composer. That performance was just incredible.
Love this, love their friendship. Forever indebted to Stephen for shedding light on Jon Batiste and enabling me to discover this wonderful artist and human ❤. Can't wait to watch the documentary ❤
I saw a video of Jon and Suleika giving a tour of their home. It was fantastic, and his love for her was palpable throughout the entire thing. I can’t wait to catch American Symphony!
This man always brings tears to my eyes while I smile ear to ear … he is a gift from the heavens, the earth and life itself! Much love, peace & rest to Sweet Sweet Suleika !
Jon Batiste is a humble, joyful musical genius who is dedicated to sharing his joy through his immense musical talent. Like so many others, I appreciate him and love him.
It's so beautiful to see Stephen and Jon talking to each other and sharing their obvious love for each other. Two of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
Jon is amazing. As a musician and as a human being. Nothing but good vibes for you and your wife being sent your way, Jon. Keep bringing your magic to us through your amazing gift. We love you.❤
Seeing Jon and Stephen together again is like witnessing a family reunion. They're both so full of love. Happy Jon's wife as well. Blessings to all of them. ❤😊
I love the current band but miss Jon. Sending all the best to him and his wife, whose cancer I hope goes into remission. Merry Christmas to both of you!
So great to see Jon Batiste back again. I've so missed him. This made my day complete. I found Jon on Amazon Music. Can't wait to begin playing his albums.
Jon is a musical genius, but above all, a kind and generous, beautiful human being. All my love and healing vibes to his beautiful wife. I listened to Butterfly and after seeing the Netflix special, I just knew he wrote it for her. Makes me sob every time. Heal, beautiful lady, and my best wishes for a long life together with Jon.
Sending prayers and love to you and your wife JB, we miss you so much and hope you and your wife are blessed with the best of everything the world can offer 🫶
The love and admiration these two have for each other should serve as an exemplar for the type of relationship modern men should strive to have with their close friends.
While I know hes not likely to read this - Jon, thank you for sharing your gifts and your journey with us all. When you talked about creeating a frequency of rest amongst the ceaseless, maddening noise of getting better in a hospital room, it spoke to me personally. What a beautiful, uplifting way to use your talents! Bless you, and bless your wife, and bless you exponentially as a couple with joy and health!
Please don't ever change, Jon. I love you! The affection between Stephen and Jon is so obviously real. Amazing.
I felt that hug through my soul as well ❤
You can really tell they love each other.
@@NanaBrown040 That was an "I mean it" hug. Or, from my growing up years, a church hug.
They're adorable together and both of them are such lovely men.
I completely agree. 🥰
Your capacity to love is immense. You're a true icon. Not just a music icon. A great human being. Sending love, light and prayers to your wife and family.
Jon Batiste has the ability to put a smile on anyones face, just by being himself... just by being there I guess. Amazing human being
Jon gets a vote for time's man of the year from me. Great musician and greater husband.
Yes, he'd be an excellent choice next year.
He's a deeply beautiful person........in every way.
He's super inspiring and just a truly wonderful man, in every way.
Oh my word. This man radiates, generates, and cultivates love. My goodness. ❤❤❤
On top of being a supreme talent!
@@elisemiller13 oh, that too!! Beyond!!! Xxx
Fellow cancer fighter here, sending my best to Jon's wife. So happy to hear she's still fighting like hell two years after it came back.
So glad to hear you are too ❤❤❤❤❤
Cheers to fellow cancer fighters. All of you. 🥂
Good luck to you. Cancer sucks.
Sending my best to her too, and you! Keeping fighting the good fight! ❤
research 'antineoplastons' btw.
Can we demand a regular visit from Jon? I know once a month might be hard, but how about every other month? Just have him pop in for a chat, or jump in for a song. So awesome to see this!!
Great idea 💡
Great idea💡! Like an old friend ❤❤
I support this! I miss having him as a regular on the show but it’s awesome to see him thriving.
You do not understand how much I love Jon Batiste. He is a literal angel, sent from God to heal the world.
yes yes yes yes yes
I just put the 111 like on this angelic comment!!! Jon is love!!!
Totally agree! Jon is amazing! I love how he loves Suleica!
Omg random but could you imagine if he did a cover of heal the world 😮
My thoughts exactly. How does the world rate a man like this. We surely don't deserve him. I tear up just hearing his voice again.
Jon is the best! Sending warmest good wishes for Jon and healing for his wife’s recovery.✨🙏✨💛
This man is on a higher plane of spiritual existence. If only we had 1% of that, the world would be at peace.
omg you took the words....thank you ❤
This right here❤❤
You nailed it!
Perhaps that's why the man looks razor sharp in the clothes he wears- clothes that FEW people could pull off. Jon is one of the most beautiful people to have walked the earth.
@@ChefMimsy He can literally wear anything and look fabulous in it.
Jon is such a beautiful gentle soul! And so gifted! Wishing him and his wife all the happiness in the world!
Probably Jon's "gentle soul" and his being so gifted, how he developed his talent, are related.

Jon Batiste IS what life is made of! He is dreams, he is hope, he is AMERICA! God bless Jon Batiste!!
Steve looks at Jon like a proud papa.
I don't know what it is about Jon Batiste, but whenever I see him on this show it makes me smile.
Sending Jon and his wife so much love! We who have watched the show for a long time are so happy for his success and wish them both love and good health.
They're such a truly beautiful couple in every way.
John is one of the most beautiful souls on the planet. The universe is a better place with him in in. And as a Cajun, it makes me that more prouder.
I was just thinking about Jon! Glad to see him again! HUGS Jon! I'm dealing with cancer alone, so I haven't been able to keep up with Jon! So happy to see his beautiful smile again! Thanks Steven!
I wish you the best and lots of healing.
Sending you tonnes and tonnes of love, admiration, and belief in you - just you, not any particular outcome or choice or moment, but that you are doing the very best you which is just plain perfection - today and any day you feel alone. I promise. ❤❤❤❤
I’m dealing with it alone too. Stay strong, fellow warrior ❤
Prayers for comfort and healing and hoping you both have a friend to hug… human contact so important… even a nurse holding your hand🙏🏼💕

Jon Batiste is one of these persons so delightful and lovely that I find myself immediately smiling from ear to ear every time I see him.
When the universe was saying NO, he held onto that desire and MADE it a YES ✌️❤️🙏
This man is an amazing human being. Grateful for his kindness and goodness. May the Lord keep blessing him and his wife. ❤️
The incomparable Jon Batiste!
What a man!
What a musician!
What a SOUL!!
Can’t love Jon Batiste one ounce more! Cool shout out to the Stay Human band members🌟🌟🌟💖
Jon is one of the most seemingly genuine, loveliest, kindest people I've ever had the misfortune to not meet. I'm not religious, but if there is a God, may they bless you and yours endlessly, Jon.
He really does seem totally 100% genuine. Any time you see him with his wife as well, the affection they have for one another is really tangible.
If there is a God? So sad it is and he give people there own unique talents? 😢
@@atreyu2346 Yes. I cannot "know" there is a God. Nor can I "know" there is not. Hence "if". And the person who gave Jon his talent is Jon, through years of practice.
Every times I see you guys together, I always go emotional , I understand that you have to go, but I don’t want you to leave the show ❤❤❤❤
❤🔥Love, Love, LOVE Jon Batiste! What an inspiration and sublime artist and human being. One of a kind❣ Thank you for being who you are. Really enjoyed this interview.

When one person causes a comment section like _this..._ you know that person is on an incredible, worthy [though challenging] path!
I've been waiting for a long time to see Jon coming from that guests entrance

Love Jon Batiste. Such an inspiring soul as is his dear wife.
So great to see Jon Batiste back again. I've so missed him. This made my day complete. I found Jon on Amazon Music. Can't wait to begin playing his albums.
I said several prayers for Jon’s wife Suleika… I am a big believer in the power of prayer. And also miracles. 🦋
There is something magical about Jon.
Jon is a musical genius, but above all, a kind and generous, beautiful human being. All my love and healing vibes to his beautiful wife. I listened to Butterfly and after seeing the Netflix special, I just knew he wrote it for her. Makes me sob every time. Heal, beautiful lady, and my best wishes for a long life together with Jon.
