Did R5 used to beg to play shows?

R5 is about to kick off their major headlining tour, but back when they first got together, the band admits it wasn't easy booking shows. "We've been a band for seven years now and when we first started out, we were begging for gigs and no one was showing up," Riker recalls. "And it was just like, 'This is going to take forever to make it to the next level." Luckily, their hard work paid off. "Success finally happened!" he says.
