John Summit Shocks Fan Base With Plans to Quit Drinking

One of the defining hallmarks of John Summit’s brand and performances is now a thing of the past.

John Summit fans the world over mourn the loss of somewhere between 60-80% of the superstar DJ’s personality today, April 1. The “Shiver” producer will no longer embark on any of his famous benders as he’s shared plans to quit drinking alcohol.

The announcement comes after what sounds like an especially eventful weekend for John Summit (real name John Schuster). “Well on friday i blacked out during my set,” wrote the controversial artist on X (formerly Twitter). “When i finally blacked back in yesterday i couldnt find any of my clothes and somehow ended up thousands of miles away in a tijuana trap house.”

“Benders used to b all fun and games, like ‘o haha im john summit, i go on benders lol,’” said Schuster in a soul-baring reply tweet. “The fun is over. Now i want to make a major life change b4 i lose everything. With that beign said I want everyone to know that i will no longer b drinking nemore.“

A source close to Schuster who spoke with EDM Identity on the condition of anonymity shared accounts that reveal what might have led to the Napervillian accountant-turned-DJ’s decision. Schuster allegedly refused to end his egregiously redlined Friday set at POSH Nightclub in Atlantic City, prompting the venue’s techs to cut his sound.

The source claims that this sent Schuster into a seething rage, causing him to shout “Don’t you know who I am?!” and show his TikTok account analytics to anyone who would look at his phone. He then demanded that his tour manager book the next available redeye flight to Miami, where he currently resides, with his team and close friends losing sight of him at the airport.

In lieu of joining AA or checking into a rehab facility, Schuster has chosen to open his own substance abuse recovery center. Against the advice of his legal team, it will share the name with a smaller facility that has been active since 2015.
