We said our final goodbyes to our friend RJ yesterday. It was a beautiful ceremony and it was really good to see so many of his friends come together to celebrate his life. He had so many people who loved him and hearing stories really showed the impact he had on so many. It was amazing to see how we all shared the same feelings about the kind of person he was. He always put others first, always wanted to help, and whenever we’d be out, he was always checking in and asking, ā€œYou good?ā€ As much as I try to understand it all… I guess there are just some things in life we’ll never fully understand… it leaves an emptiness in your heart that’s hard to put into words. Just left with memories to look back on…so many fun times we had together with endless laughs. It still doesn’t feel real…I just hope he’s found the peace and happiness he was missing here. You will be greatly missed RJ… Till we meet again. ā€œBetter to light a candle than curse the darknessā€ #RJMitte #RestInPeace @RjMitte

Who says you can’t bring METAL to an NFL halftime show?! @hurricanenita and I had an absolute blast rocking SoFi Stadium for the @RamsNFL Salute to Service game! We put together a killer medley featuring @Metallica , @IronMaiden , @godsmack , @foofighters , @QueenWillRock and Top Gun, and got to share our love for rock and metal at the Rams House! youtu.be/WFINTWsA1r8?is=SZTg… #NFL #LARams #HalftimeShow #RamsHouse #NitaStrauss

I was practicing yesterday and @hurricanenita was holding him. He was just watching with love in his eyes, smiling,moving, and laughing …completely melted my heart melt. I sat him behind the drums and he grabbed the stick and was trying to hit the drums. He gets to watch Mom and Dad play together tomorrow for the first time, I’m so excited to look out and see him right there. 😊 #Max #Drums #futuremusician

Straight from @Metallica at the @SphereVegas to SoFi Stadium with the @RamsNFL ! @hurricanenita and I had an absolute blast getting to perform with @bluemangroup ! Such a cool experience bringing our worlds together and getting to jam with those guys at the game! Videos coming soon 🄁 We’ll be back November 1st for the Battle of Los Angeles vs the Chargers! It’s also the Rams’ Salute to Service game and we’ve got something special planned! šŸ‘€ #RamsHouse #BlueManGroup #SoFiStadium #TeamNoSleep

Thank you very much! It was a special day and fun to trick Nita like that 🤣
Replying to @gguworld
Kudos to @hurricanenita & @thejoshv for a legendary collab! The story of Josh tricking Nita into meeting and playing Perpetual Burn for the legend himself is unreal. Absolute must-watch video: youtu.be/3Ti5rWHOkZ0?is=bkKv…

Excited to finally get out to see @Metallica TONIGHT at the @SphereVegas !! I’ve been looking forward to this all year and I’ve been able to avoid all spoilers, which is pretty hard to do these days with social media. What a killer present from @hurricanenita for my birthday. Thank you!! Will be good to take my mind off things… much needed. #MetallicA #LasVegas #Vegas

I’m honestly at such a loss for words and …truly heartbroken… still trying to process it and I guess there are just some things in life we’ll never understand. @RjMitte was such a sweet guy. So humble, funny, down to earth, and genuinely had the biggest heart. He was a huge advocate for performers with disabilities. He was always smiling, always laughing, and just wanted to have a good time! I met him through our mutual friend @badboycraven and we hit it off right away. I don’t really watch T.V. or had never seen Breaking Bad (I think we met around the last season), but everywhere we went, people would flock to him. I used to joke with him, ā€œDamn, I guess this show is a pretty big deal, huh?!?ā€ šŸ˜‚ It wasn’t until I finally watched it a few years ago that I realized just how incredible it was and how great he was as well. But, you would never know it hanging out with him. Zero ego.Never once played that card or acted like he was better than anyone. We bonded over our love for music and concerts. He was always so supportive of everything @hurricanenita and I did. We had so many great nights out together, concerts we went to, endless laughs, and great conversations. The last time we saw each other earlier this year at Corey’s birthday party, we got to catch up and were sharing how happy we were for each other. He was so excited about everything he was doing for the kids in Brownsville and wanted us to come down. He just seemed so happy... and that’s the part I’m having such a hard time wrapping my head around. I just never imagined something like this would happen... He was so loved by everyone who knew him. You really never know what someone is going through or what they may be struggling with behind closed doors. My heart goes out to his Mom, sister, family, and all his friends. The 1st pic was our last time together and that’s how it always was…all smiles and laughs. He was truly one of the good ones…. I’m gonna miss you man. Till we meet again my friend… If you’re ever struggling and feel like you have nobody to talk to, please reach out to someone you love. You are loved... even when it doesn’t feel that way. #RestinPeace #rjmitte

A HUGE thank you to @TripleH and @WWE for the incredible hospitality and making Max’s first WWE event one to remember! Max got the legendary Triple H point AND two waves from the ring … @BeckyLynchWWE and @SolRucaWWE ! As they say in the wrestling world… THE KID IS OVER! Future champ in the making? So great catching up with so many of our WWE family seeing old friends and making new ones! Even cooler being back in New Orleans, right next door to the Superdome where Nita played @ShinsukeN out at WrestleMania 34! After the show, we hit Bourbon St with @ArcherOfInfamy , @lolavicewwe , @jacyjaynewwe , @RealLAKnight and a whole crew. Always a good time with Damian! Great running into @NoelleFoley too! What a night, what a weekend, and looking forward to 2027… šŸ‘€ @hurricanenita #WWE #TripleH #MITB #NewOrleans

Really excited to finally share this… After a few test runs playing together at Rams games, I’ve officially been brought on to join @hurricanenita this season as she kicks off her 7th season with the @RamsNFL ! The Rams organization has been so amazing to Nita and I over the years and getting the opportunity to officially be part of the game day experience alongside her is a huge honor for me. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of the Rams family and excited for this year. I’ve been lucky enough to share a lot of stages and create some incredible moments with Nita over the years, but getting to do this together in an NFL stadium is pretty awesome. I have some cool ideas in mind and I can’t wait for the fans to see and hear what we bring to the stadium this season. We’ll be kicking things off this Saturday at SoFi Stadium for the home opener…ironically against the Saints! See you Saturday, LA!! šŸ¤˜šŸ»šŸ„šŸˆ #Rams #LosAngeles #larams #ilovela #nfl

I asked in my story seeing if anyone could guess what band Max hears and it immediately calms him down and seems to like. Who woulda guessed it would be @primus ?? He loves them it and now when he gets fussy I ask ā€œDo I need to call Uncle Les ?! I put it on , march around like Les, and he’s in peace. Must be all the Thumpin and Da Pluckin’ #Primus #lesclaypool #babysitter #babylife @hurricanenita
