Josh Groban breaks silence on Charlie Kirk’s assassination — ‘We are losing more than lives, we are losing ourselves’

Josh Groban, the voice that once lifted millions with You Raise Me Up, has now broken his silence after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. For days, the singer stayed quiet as the nation erupted in grief and fury. But on Friday night, Groban shared a deeply emotional statement that immediately struck a chord across America.

“We are losing more than lives,” he wrote. “We are losing ourselves — our compassion, our patience, our ability to see the humanity in one another. This violence does not heal wounds, it deepens them.”

His words, gentle yet devastating, spread quickly across social media. Fans praised Groban for offering a perspective rooted in empathy, while critics accused him of veiled politics in a moment of national tragedy.

Yet Groban’s statement rose above the noise. His plea wasn’t partisan — it was human. He urged Americans to “choose harmony over hate, music over mayhem, and voices of love over the silence of death.”

Here’s how a singer known for ballads of hope has turned his voice toward a grieving nation — and why his haunting call for unity may be the note America needs to hear most.
