Los Angeles, April 26
Pop star Joe Jonas recently performed his new single, 'Heart by Heart', for a phone-free crowd in New York, and he relished the experience.
"It's been a while - actually, the last time I performed with no phones, I honestly couldn't tell you. I went to the Masters this year, and you can't bring your phone, so that was nice,” he said.
“And I think, once you're away from your phone for even a few hours, you're panicked sometimes - at least I am. And then you get back, and you're like, 'Okay, I'm fine, the world is still revolving, everyone was fine.'"
Joe acknowledged that he spends an unhealthy amount of time online. However, he also relishes disconnecting himself from the outside world from time to time, reports.
He said: "I'm at fault for becoming somebody that's just on a death scroll ... This is a nice reminder to just be present with your friends and family. You can shut your phone off for a few hours and hang out."
Meanwhile, Joe previously said that he's been "reliving" his childhood through his children.
The chart-topping star revealed that he's relishing the challenges of fatherhood, describing it as the "best feeling".
