He's an incredible singer.
The constant struggle an artist goes through to continually reinvent themselves to feed their creativity vs what the 'original' fans expect, is real. The bigger the star, the worse it gets. The kind of things fans say/do, when an artist pivots ranges from mean to incredibly ugly. People forget these guys are human (and a fair number of times, broken humans).
Fans are entitled fucks. If an artist makes something you don't like, don't listen/see/buy. But no, you've to shit on it and set it on fire. (Not directed at you or your post btw, just a general observation

)
