According to Stereogum, Adams teased the Blackhole album’s cover art and stated in a lengthy caption that is about the music and using that music to heal others. “This is just about music. A small but important thing that helps heal and keeps some hope alive for us all.” He continues to say “I get to listen to it. I hope you can soon too. And so much else.” In the same article, Adams jokes around at the idea of collaborating with Bryan Adams. He says “It could happen. He’s a badass & I have a tape machine.”
