My troubles stole my youth, but I’m reclaiming every part of it now—sober, grateful, and ready to feel everything on stage.

In another update, the singer revealed he has been sober for the past three months, marking a major personal milestone. “3 months sober, Glory,” he wrote.

Victony also disclosed that prior to this new chapter, he had never performed on stage without consuming alcohol.
