September 1st Interview

On September 1, 2026, Daniel was spotted and interviewed for the first time since his release from prison. Daniel was asked eight questions, such as what prison was like and if he still aspires to be a musician. This interview also further showed the unsurprising fact that Daniel is still obsessed with Grace VanderWaal even after being incarcerated for two years. [1] Daniel also spoke to Flexburger for the first time in years via FaceTime. [2]

Good.

Grace, if you get this message, if you want to contact me, go ahead.
