Haim Explain Real Reason For 'Something To Tell You' Delay

(Radio.com) Haim were hard at work on their new album Something to Tell You and were about to enter the studio when their producer Ariel Rechshaid was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Devastated by the news, the sister trio put the project on hold and waited for their good friend — and Danielle Haim's boyfriend — to recover.

"He's such an integral part of our lives. Ariel's our brother, he's everything. And when he got diagnosed, all we thought about was, 'We're here to support you and we love you.' Nothing else mattered," Alana Haim said.

The feelings of helplessness and anxiety they experienced while Rechshaid was in the hospital impacted the songwriting for the new album.
