They wrapped up their WorldWired tour and revealed they’ve been giving money to charitable causes in each city on the tour. The donations came through their All Within My Hands foundation.

The final donation of their summer 2019 tour was August 25 when they donated €63,000 to Freezone Mannheim, a German homeless youth aid group.

Love stories like this. Imagine if every mega-successful band did something like this? They don’t have to and when they do, it’s pretty cool, no?
