Mellencamp tells fans, “I’m getting there. I can feel it. Make sure you come to see me on the Dancing Words tour. Nothing but hits the whole time.”
Back in January, he jumped on the treadmill with a cigarette and shared, “Hey, I’m trying to get in shape for my tour next summer. I’m going to play two and half hours of nothing but hits, so I thought I better try to get in shape. You know what I mean?”
