Mike Posner walking across America

When Mike Posner sang I Took A Pill in Ibiza, he wasn’t kidding. The Song went on to become one of the top songs in 2016. He is currently walking across America, starting from Asbury Park, New Jersey to Venice Beach, California. He started the 3000+ mile journey on April 15th 2019.

Why is Mike Posner walking across America? Has he gone crazy or mad or something? Is he preventing another fashionable celebrity meltdowns and disillusionment with fame? Is he just another millennial who wishes that we all go back to the 1960s and live a hippy life in the nature and walk around bare foot?

All the above are just wild guesses. Mike Posner just wants to walk. He will also grow a hippy beard along the way as he walks across America for a year or so. He also welcomed anyone interested to join him in his long walk, provided you behave properly, don’t smoke pot and do drugs, and pay your food bills.

Story Update (12th August, 2019)

Mike Posner was bit by a baby rattle snake in the jungles of Colorado. He has been chopper lifted and seeking treatment from a hospital. He has walked 1800+ miles out of the 2800+ miles he has planned to walk. Here is what he has to say through his Instagram account.

“Whatup doe!!! Crazy day yesterday! I had just crushed 16 miles and was going for 8 more when I got bit by a baby rattlesnake! 🐍 That venom is no joke! I got to the hospital and got the anti-venom in time. Shout outs to G and Mike from the chopper team 🚁 and Bo and Cassie and Whitney (my nurses). I’ll be here a few days and will not be able to walk for several weeks but enjoying the AC and the nice bed, haven’t had those in a while Hahahaha! Can’t wait to get back on The Walk! KEEP GOING!!!!!!”

“I knew walking across America was going to be dangerous. I knew I could die doing it. I still might. So don’t feel sorry for me. I’m proud I’m in this hospital after chasing my dream and not sitting on the couch watching Netflix. I’m proud of this pain. If you understand this message, do not leave me sympathy comments, just write KEEP GOING.”
