“Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury and Elton John, just to name a few.

“It’s a truly unique feeling performing here, and seeing this incredible audience in front of me moved me a lot.”

The rising star thanked the team and fellow artists singing in the show for giving him such a “great opportunity” and most of all his father Andrea who gave him “the space to perform…and of course little Virginia.”
