Back in December 2014, Chromatics announced their new album Dear Tommy. Although they shared multiple songs from the record, the album never surfaced. Recently, nearly all of those songs were removed from the internet. Now, in a string of tweets, Johnny Jewel’s manager Alexis Rivera has revealed what happened to Dear Tommy. “Christmas day 2015, Johnny almost died in Hawaii,” Rivera wrote on Twitter. “When he came back home to California he destroyed all copies of Tommy. 15K CDs & 10K vinyl in the Italians warehouse in Glendale, all gone.” So yeah, those broken copies of Dear Tommy in that promotional “Twin Peaks” photo were just a few of the thousands of copies that got demolished.

Jewel has since re-recorded the album (which he did before with Kill For Love). Rivera revealed that “we are getting closer to the release of the album,” which is why Jewel took all the music from the previous version of the album down. “Dear Tommy has the same titles, same lyrics, same track order, as when it was announced Dec of 2014. Nothing's changed except it's better.” Read every tweet about what happened below, and listen to one of the few songs that remains online, “Shadow.”
