Where are they Now:
From Warren's website:
In 2017 I retired, quit, walked away from a successful career to pursue a successful life.
I have been on the international stage since I was a teenager. It was all I ever dreamed of, and I have seen my dreams come true. My music has been heard by millions of people around the world through radio, album sells, streams and downloads. I have stood on the greatest stages in this country and performed in front of millions of people live. I have helped raise tens of millions of dollars to help people in need all around the world with this platform. I’m proud to have been a part of all of this, but something was missing.
At 37 years old, as opportunity and money were at an all-time high, I quit it all. I walked off the stage, took my wife’s hand, and together with our children we walked out of an arena, past the tour bus, got in a car and drove home.
Uncertain of what was next, I knew I couldn’t keep saying yes to the next tour, the next gig, the next big opportunity. I was selling my soul, losing my identity, just a replaceable part in a machine that was slowly being worn out. I could see clearly that when the machine finally spit me out I was going to have missed the best years of my life. I would be out building a career and wealth while my wife and kids built memories and a life without me. With my wife’s full support I walked away from the promise of material success, to pursue something priceless with her, a life.
The result; I have lost friends, identity, wealth and realized they were all counterfeit as I replaced them with truer versions of what they pretended to be.
That’s behind me now. I’m not 100% sure what’s next. I believe you don’t have to know where you’re going to know you can’t stay where you are.
