The singer also added, “The true story is that I’m in top health, loving my shows and playing and singing at my very best. I give 100% every night and never want to disappoint, especially after everyone has waited so long to get back to seeing shows”.
“Your response to every show has been phenomenal and I’m loving every minute of it”.
