‘Adeem Bingham, who performs as Adeem the Artist, shared their financial struggles in a Facebook post on May 20.
“This sucks and is embarrassing because all I do anymore is ask for money, but also I really don’t know what to do and don’t really have like a support system to lean on,’ the “Asheville Blues” singer wrote alongside a nonplussed selfie. “My car broke down. I don’t, like- I don’t know how I’m going to pay my bills right now. I have had a couple of gigs, but it’s not enough to sustain me.”
“People aren’t really writing me back for efforts at booking gigs & I haven’t been able to find a job. It’s just a real s—y point in my life in a lot of ways,” the country artist admitted.
The “Ashes in Flight” singer then openly asked fans for help.
“If you’ve got anything you can spare to kick my way, I don’t think short of a miracle that I am going to be able to figure this out, and once I lose my car, it’s kind of just all over for me, honestly.”
They concluded on a somber note: “I’m dangling on the ledge of oblivion a little bit & trying to keep myself sedated.”
Of course, fans showed their support in the comments section.
“Don’t give up. Life sucks sometimes. Situations like this is when I wish I had all the means in the world to help,” one top comment read. ” I love your music. Life is just so hard,’ another fan offered.
Last fall, the singer announced they were going on a hiatus. Their latest limited album, notes from inside, is available to preorder on Bandcamp.
