However, during her new interview on 105.5 WDHA radio station, Lzzy Hale has shared new details from the band’s upcoming album Back From The Dead. Speaking about how she got inspired by her lyrics during the writing process of the album, Lzzy revealed her interactions with the band’s fanbase. According to her, the album has a song about a gay Halestorm fan who deals with her family.

“There is one specific song [on Halestorm’s upcoming album ‘Back From The Dead’], and I won’t necessarily say the title yet because I kind of want her to figure it out for herself,” Lzzy said.

“But there was a very trying situation that I was in. It wasn’t my situation — it was this young girl; she’s in eighth grade and she’s a fan of ours. And she just came out as gay and her parents were having a very hard time with it.

“So she was brave enough to kind of open up to a couple of different people on my socials, including myself. And as hard as it is for me to say it, I have to say it. I guess the parents’ response to her coming out as gay was, ‘Well, death would be better.'”

Lzzy Hale Admits It Was ‘Weird To Love Alice Cooper’ When She Was In Eighth Grade

“I know how I felt in eighth grade as a weirdo that loved Alice Cooper when everybody loved the Backstreet Boys; I know what it’s like to already have that,” she continues. “But then to not have the support of your parents for something that you truly are was ridiculous.

“So I ended up taking this conversation into one of our writing sessions and we wrote this song that is not a ballad — it is a banger, because I wanted to write her this anthem that not only says, ‘Please take everything that nobody understands about you and make it into your superpower.’

“But also, I am just like you — I am just like you, and I went through it, and I have come out on the other side. I still have dark times and dark days and everything, but if I can do it, so can you. You are in eighth grade; I’m 38. [Laughs] It’s, like, there is another side to that tunnel.

“But it’s important for me, because the inspiration comes full circle. It’s, like, yeah, sure, I’m the one that gets up there and writes songs and sings and plays and has a good time and is, like I said, the host of the party, but these kids and the letters that they write to me, I would have never thought I’d be in that position when I was 13 all those years ago when I just wanted to rock. So it’s just such a beautiful thing to be a part of.”

Lzzy Hale’s Interactions With Halestorm Fans

As some of those top Halestorm fans might know, Lzzy Hale is the one who encourages people every time. One of those meaningful letters has been shared on her official Twitter account by herself. In the letter, she encouraged people to say to themselves that they are legendary.

“Checking in: I have so much love and gratitude for you all,” Lzzy tweeted. “Do something for me…find your nearest mirror…look yourself in the eye and say “bitch I am legendary” then give yourself a big hug from me! Do it!”
