Maynard James Keenan chose to suffer like this. He’s collapsed onto a couch and is practically horizontal, catching his breath at a rehearsal space in North Hollywood, California, where this man with the shaved head is bearing the weight of another season of music creation and all the contract negotiations and promotion that comes with it.
