Why divorce was tough for Joe Jonas?
Divorce is brutal, he admitted, no way around it. “It’s not easy for anybody,” Joe said. He knows people jump to conclusions, but he’s grateful for the circle he has. Being on tour with his brothers gave him something to hold onto. “People are going through so much,” he said, “and the fact that I could go perform and make people feel something… it gave me so much purpose.”
