Hi everybody.
The last two weeks of our US tour have been a madhouse. Playing on the West Coast is always very intense because there are a lot of friends and business people coming to the concerts, so before and after show is always very busy.
On top of that we spent quite a few days in Las Vegas, not only performing two sold out shows at the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace, a venue which we've been aspiring to for some time now, because of all the world famous people who are so identified with it; Celine Dion and Elton John are just two to be mentioned here.
But we also spent a very long day doing a photo shoot all over town including some very special locations usually "off limits" that gave us a great perspective of the city. It was wonderful to work with Max Dodson and his team again. We know each other so well by now, and he always manages to capture us like nobody else.
Between all that I've been driving from Vegas to LA, to Phoenix and back up to Vegas. I always wanted to do a road trip in the States, and because the routing worked out that way, I thought I'll take the opportunity and get a little taste of what it would be like. The experience has only strengthened my decision to make that wish come true one day. I thoroughly enjoyed myself driving through the Nevada and Arizona desert, and California has always been one of my favourites. I just need a bit of free time to be able to stop where ever I want and go at my own pace...
The crowning highlight for me was of course being able to celebrate my birthday in Los Angeles where I've got so many dear friends, and as it fell on the show day, the boys did not let me down either, got me a wonderful cake on stage and sang happy birthday for me...!

I'm sitting on the plane to Seattle now, still trying to let all the turbulence settle in my brain and get my head around all that's happened over the last two weeks. What a wonderful life we live!
And on that note I would like to thank all of you lovely people out there who come to our shows, enjoy our music and make it possible that the four of us in Il Divo can travel the world like this and do what we all love most in life: Singing!
