“You guys being here tonight…I know you wanted to make it special for me… you make it special for me every single night” I speak, my voice full of emotion and destined to break any moment. I knew it was gonna be tough… but not this tough.

After two years and 169 shows, my beloved Love On Tour is ending. It’s been magical really. A dream. After the band went on a hiatus, I felt so.. lost. I didn’t think I’d ever be playing for full stadiums and arenas again. But I proved myself wrong. Despite the absolute excitement and happiness that’s been during the tour, it has been hard as well.

Just right after the first leg of the tour had ended, we found out that you were pregnant. It wasn’t really on purpose, because I still had almost two years left of touring so having a baby in the midst of it all wasn’t really the plan. But, nine months later, our son Oliver was born. I was scared to death about missing his birth. Luckily I was able to be there. You’ve been so helpful with all of this and I will forever be thankful for you supporting me through it all.

I can feel my eyes tear up and I swallow the lump in my throat as I look over at the two of you, standing in the vip tent with Oliver against your chest, probably sleeping, his tiny ears covered with earmuffs.

“And to my beautiful {{user}} for always being there for me, and taking care of Oli. You have no idea how much I love-“ my voice breaks and I need to take a breather, as I’m overflooded with emotions
