Cruz Beckham welcomed his bandmates, collectively known as The Breakers, and provided an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at his final North America tour show at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. Expressing excitement, Beckham introduced the group: "We're in L.A. We made it. Very excited." His bandmate Dan Ewins remarked, "You know what? I came in. I saw that, and I was like, 'OK, cool. Who are we sacrificing tonight?'"

Cruz proclaimed, "Hello, Billboard. I'm Cruz Beckham, and we are The Breakers. Come with us for our final show at Hollywood Cemetery." He shared that he had been practicing the "Thriller" dance routine. A camera operator asked, "Show us." Beckham replied, "That's all. That's all."

The group included Jackie, their manager, and cousin Lib, who was capturing photos of the journey. Lib was particularly impressed by the venue, calling it "the nicest we've been in so far" and expressing her privilege to tour with her loved ones. For Beckham, this marked his debut live gig, and he was continuously learning and growing. He praised his tour manager, Ruffles, stating, "This tour would not be going on without Ruffles. He is incredible."

David Ruffle echoed Beckham's sentiments, emphasizing, "This is absolute. This is absolutely correct, by the way." Beckham introduced Harry, his oldest schoolmate and the band's videographer, who documented the entire experience for YouTube. The reporter asked, "What's your favorite Cruz moment this tour so far?"
