531
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,600
We were worried for him,

532
00:25:59,767 --> 00:26:02,561
but there was also
professional concern.

533
00:26:02,728 --> 00:26:05,273
We actually had a show,
and we didn't know,

the show or not,

different creative avenues

1875
01:29:56,683 --> 01:29:59,144
and experiment with life
in a way I never could before.

1876
01:30:01,230 --> 01:30:02,731
I was feeling inspired...

1877
01:30:06,068 --> 01:30:08,487
and it led me to find something
even greater

1878
01:30:08,654 --> 01:30:09,696
than I could ever imagine.

1879
01:30:11,615 --> 01:30:12,533
Love.

1880
01:30:14,993 --> 01:30:17,996
And this love has
changed my life...

1881
01:30:19,081 --> 01:30:19,998
forever.

1882
01:30:24,336 --> 01:30:25,712
Everything's amazing.

1883
01:30:27,756 --> 01:30:28,674
My husband.

PHIL MCINTYRE:
I think that the brothers

1885
01:30:34,972 --> 01:30:36,682
had to grow apart

1886
01:30:37,891 --> 01:30:39,351
to be able to get perspective.

1887
01:30:40,978 --> 01:30:44,356
They've realized
if you can get through life

1888
01:30:44,523 --> 01:30:48,443
with a couple key
relationships intact,

1889
01:30:50,112 --> 01:30:53,115
they now have the perspective
just how special that is.

1890
01:30:56,910 --> 01:30:59,204
All I cared about was that
they would be okay as brothers.

1891
01:31:05,294 --> 01:31:06,211
They made it through.

1892
01:31:11,049 --> 01:31:13,051
There are brother bands
that don't speak...

1893
01:31:14,678 --> 01:31:15,762
that hate each other.

1894
01:31:16,513 --> 01:31:17,598
Not my sons.

1895
01:31:18,724 --> 01:31:20,767
And it wasn't about the money,

1896
01:31:21,602 --> 01:31:22,895
wasn't about the music,

1897
01:31:23,437 --> 01:31:24,980
wasn't about the fame.

1898
01:31:25,606 --> 01:31:27,900
It was,
"Hey, brothers...

1899
01:31:30,194 --> 01:31:31,695
you wanna do something
awesome again together?"
