Elton John Tour....
Hi Every one...
So firstly, just want to clarify, I haven't fallen off a cliff anywhere or beome a recluse... I am still here and im sorry it's taken me this long to post this blog...
I've been working hard on a new drama for the BBC for the past few weeks which I'll tell you much more about soon. I've also been trying to get my head back together after the most amazing summer. I've sat down quite a few times recently at my lap top and tried to start to put into words what the past few months have been like...
Elton John has been my Idol since I can remember. My first inspiration to play the piano or write melodies and lyrics. The thought of going on tour with him back in February when I found out seemed unbelievable in itself, but the reality proved even more so.
Playing to such enormous crowds night after night was incredible. To be on tour and on the same bill as him was surreal, I felt like the whole time I was standing inside my own imagination..and I loved it.
Elton was great. So genuine and generous and I can't wait for the forthcoming 'Red Piano Tour' which Im honoured to have been asked back to open some of the shows (I'll post dates of the shows im playing soon)
All that remains to say is to Elton, thank you for the most memorable musical experience of my life so far and for making me so welcome. And to everyone who came to the Stadium shows or the tour thank you for your on going support...It means the world.
