Before the Jonas Brothers broke up, Nick reveals that he was starting to feel the pressure of their upcoming tour and the tension between him and his brothers. "We hated each other, basically," he says. Just days before he told his brothers he wanted to disband the group, he had a "full-blown panic attack" and was "full of anxiety."
After talking with his dad, he decided that the best thing to do was to be "as honest as possible" with his brothers. Kevin and Joe were completely blindsided by the news, but Joe admits that he was especially hurt by how Nick delivered the news. Instead of explaining his feelings and where his head was at, Joe says that he basically told them the band was over and that he wanted to do solo projects without them. Joe adds that he felt "betrayed, lied to, angry, and numb" about the news, and for a while after the breakup "it was dark."
