Why is 'Did you Hear the Leak' trending on Twitter? Twenty One Pilots livestream wins hearts amid Clancy album release

Musical duo Twenty One Pilots released their seventh studio album Clancy on May 24. Lead vocalist/ guitarist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun premiered the music video for 12 of the album’s 13 tracks during a livestream early morning on Friday. A snippet from their livestream soon started trending on X (formerly Twitter).

Towards the beginning, Tyler addressed viewers and instructed:

“Hey, you! Come in closer. Yeah, you. A little closer. Turn up your volume. Turn up the volume on your phone or your tablet or your computer. Turn it up. Little bit more. I wanna tell you something.”

He began humming the lines from “Bandito”, a track from Twenty One Pilots' 2018 album Trench:

“I created this world to feel some control. Destroy it if I want. So, I’ll sing.”

Tyler then got up from his seat and held a red balloon in front of the microphone with a loose hold on its mouth, leading it to leak air and make a high-pitched squeak. As all the air gets removed from the balloon, Tyler turned to Josh and asked:

“Did you hear that?"

A seemingly stunned but amused Josh responded:

“What the h*ck was that?”

Tyler asked:

“Did you hear the leak? The air that leaked out of the balloon?”

After repeating the question twice, the duo laughed it off and welcomed viewers to the live stream, announcing that they were going to play all the music video they had in store for Clancy.
