Why did this concert take 20 years to materialise?
My manager is my wife. She told me it’s about time I did a concert – don’t just simply fade away. My plan was just to quietly fade away and do my other businesses. She said I owed it to my fans. I’m grateful to her for pushing me.
It was a magical night. The whole concert went well. I felt really, really blessed.
What did you hope fans took away from the concert?
It was important to me that the concert didn’t just encompass music. I wanted the concert to be something that we can all learn from – a source of reminder how important family is and how life is not a promise. So, before the people we love take their leave, it’s really important for us to care for them, to appreciate them.
Our parents will get old, they will change. We can’t expect our parents to always be the same two individuals who raised us, who are responsible and strong, to remain the same forever. They’re going to start to forget things, get weaker, have issues and problems. It’s our turn to return the favour – be patient, spend time (with them) and do our very best to just give back.
