The 19-year-old YouTubers shocked the net after announcing news of their father’s passing in early 2019, asking fans to respect their privacy during the funeral in wake of hashtags like “#seandolanfuneralparty.”

The Dolan Twins finally broke their silence about the death of their father, who passed away in early 2019.Ethan and Grayson Dolan released an emotional video on October 8 in collaboration with YouTube star Shane Dawson, where the two admitted that they’re bringing a halt to their weekly uploads in wake of work addiction and stress from their father’s passing.
“We would, like, be taking care of our dad, and then immediately getting on a flight to LA, filming a video, then coming back,” they explained. “My dad had cancer for two years. …I felt like if I wasn’t in caretaker mode or filming mode, then I was doing something wrong.”

In fact, the twins have been working so hard that they admitted to feeling “numb,” and even expressed regret for their work ethic by claiming that, “Had we not been filming a video every week, we would have been able to spend more time with our family around the time that they needed us.”
That’s not all: the twins also admitted that their online personas crafted at 14 don’t exactly reflect who they are now, and had been afraid to admit this fact for fear of angering their fanbase.
