Soules told Entertainment Tonight that he's not "really returning to the spotlight," but was there to enjoy a concert with his "Bach" pals Ashley Iaconetti, Jared Haibon, Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes.
"I'm here for a really great concert," he said. "I'm here in L.A. and kind of just living the dream a little bit."
