Overview
- Peck told Rolling Stone that two days before he canceled his Bronco tour in June 2023 he intentionally overdosed and later attempted to take his life, an episode he calls a turning point.
- He says the overdose, a subsequent breakup and a stint in rehab became the creative foundation for Mule, a 13-track record due Sept. 18 through Warner Records.
- The album’s lead single, “Too Little, Too Late,” was released on July 24 as Peck begins publicly framing the record as a chronological reckoning with addiction and sobriety.
- Peck performs as a masked, openly gay country artist and said efforts to ‘unmask’ him and daily hostility have shaped his work and his connection with fans.
- Warner and outlets reporting the interview included trigger warnings and resources for crisis help, and the fall tour tied to Mule is scheduled to run from October through November in North America.
