Flowers said that growing up in Las Vegas as a member of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (LDSthe Mormon Church) helped prepare him for the world of rock and roll: "Really, being a Mormon in Las Vegas prepared me for the lion's den. It is Sin City. The things that go on, the lights, it's the ultimate rock and roll stage. Without Las Vegas, I would be a wreck."<ref>McCormick, Neil.
