“This is a dream tour for me. Literally.”

Chris Daughtry joined Loudwire Nights on Tuesday (Feb. 4) and was very open about his excitement to hit the road with Disturbed for their 25th-anniversary tour celebrating The Sickness.

“I manifested this over a year ago,” Daughtry told host Chuck Armstrong. Listen to the full conversation in the player near the end of this article.

“I had this dream that I was on stage with David [Draiman] and we were — it was obvious in the dream that we were on tour together and that this was a nightly thing.”

He said in the dream, he was onstage with Draiman, singing an unfamiliar song.

When he woke up, he pulled out his phone and sent a text to Draiman about the tour and singing together, to which the Disturbed frontman replied, “Both of those things are possibilities.”

Over the next few months, Daughtry said he held onto that dream and kept asking Draiman when Disturbed were going to go out on tour.

“[I told him] we’d love to support you and it would be a huge honor,” he said.

“This was before we knew they were going out on the 25th anniversary tour — that was icing on the cake. When we got that news, I kid you not, I lost my shit on the tour bus.”

On top of joining Disturbed on the road, Daughtry is also excited to share the stage with Nothing More, who will be opening the second leg of the tour.

“Not only are those guys my friends, but they’re one of my favorite bands and I’m absolutely terrified to follow them,” Daughtry said, laughing.

“Jonny [Hawkins] is a little younger than me and he’s got that young man energy and he’s a beast of a frontman, not only vocally, but physically.”

Daughtry’s respect for Hawkins and Nothing More is only matched by his respect for Draiman and Disturbed.

“They’re two frontmen that I’m jealous of what they’re able to do with their voices,” he said.

“You know, as a fan, it’s going to be a lot of fun to watch those guys every night.”
