Dear Tim, I am Rúben, a 30y/o from Porto, Portugal and was last night at the Hammersmith Apollo show. Thank you for the performance and I am deeply sorry for the loss of your friend. It really moved me deeply and felt aligned with ‘life goes on’ attitude. I came to London for the weekend to watch you show on the 6th but as I was boarding the plane I received news of the passing of my aunt who has been fighting cancer for a year and a half. I made my mind to go back to attend the funeral on the 6th but had to watch your show – I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to see you live for about 15 years. So I got a chance to reschedule the Hamilton performance for the afternoon and then had to go on Viagogo to get a overpriced double ticket to see you. Worth. Every. Euro. So in case you ever get permeated with self-doubt, just know that if some people put this amount of effort to see you play, you must be doing something right. Amazing band and amazing stage artwork, by the way. Hope you get to mourn your friend. Life goes on and it’s beautiful ❤️ hope this message gets to you. Love, Rúben
