Williams appreciated his fans by expressing gratefulness for the relationship they have created over the years, “It’s very sweet, and a representation of something that I’m very grateful to, which is people buying a ticket to come and see me. It’s a representation of them and me, and it’s an unusual relationship that we have. It’s nontraditional.”

The Angels singer went on to say that the friendship bracelets are a way of showing his gratitude towards fans, “It’s a way of me accepting their gratitude — and me having gratitude to them by existing on my body.”
