"Obviously, on a day like today, you know, I've been reflecting, I've been thinking about my whole career. This is an important night for me, it's an important night for us as a collective, you know. I can remember distinctly, the year before I got put in the band, I actually also auditioned on The X Factor, right? And I remember distinctly— I was 17, I remember distinctly coming back and I got a "no", I wasn't going to get through, and I remember being in the car with my mom, we stopped off, grabbed a Subway, that was lovely, and I was just bawling my eyes out, being like, 'I fucking really want this, I really, really want this.' And you know, at that age, it's kind of difficult to deal with that kind of shit, definitely. But luckily, you know, I had a good support and good advice around me and I went again, and then luckily I got put in the band. And I fucking cherished every single year we had in the band, that was incredible. And you know, then there was a time where that wasn't a thing anymore, whatever we called it, fucking "hiatus" or whatever. So I was kind of at that same place again where I was like 'I really fucking want this, I don't want to let this go, you know, I fucking love doing what I do.' But I couldn't really, maybe to my own detriment, I couldn't really see the finish line like that, or even see the light at the end of the tunnel like that, I was kind of worried that that might be the end for me. And I want you guys to know, you know, I say a version of this every night, this is a longer form of it, but I simply would not have the fucking confidence to get up and play at a place like MSG. But I feel really, really, really fucking proud of what we've created, and tonight is just, is the ultimate of that idea. So I never really feel like I can quite articulate just how much you've done for me. But honestly, tonight is one of those moments, I want everyone to leave here tonight, right... if you've seen my first tour, I want everyone to leave here tonight to take that, you know. You are responsible. I guess I played a part too, we did it together, we did it together. Yeah, I'll be forever grateful for nights like tonight, it's really, really special, so thank you so much." - 08.07
