Exactly .. he brings an energy and obvious love for what he's doing, does it damn well, and gives his fans a great night. If his voice has changed over the years, if he doesn't hit all the notes he used to, they don't care because he's giving them a great night which is what they've come for

Perhaps because your voice has always been so extraordinary, some fans forget you don't sing a list of songs but rather deliver a SHOW, conceived, designed and delivered as a night of musical entertainment live on stage, packed with passion and spectacle .. and if you don't deliver the odd note as you used to 20 years ago, you still deliver thousands, still have that passion which brings each song to such special life, and your stagecraft and ability to reach out to an audience has only increased with the years.

They miss the point imo. But every time, many thousands of them don't. They are the ones who stand at the end cheering and willing you not to leave the stage; the ones who keep begging you to come back again. They are legion. I am one of them
