“I just wanted to thank you and every city I’ve been to so far. And I also want to let you know that every ticket, every dollar, goes directly back into the city. Because for me it’s not about that. And I know that sounds cheesy, but I do it because I love it. I don’t need the money. I just love performing. It’s us [bei den Spenden] about the places we have been. So I just wanted to say hello and goodbye. I hope it’s not the last time we see you.”
