Kylie missed the Glastonbury legend slot in 2005 after her breast cancer diagnosis.
14 years later, she was invited back… and ended up drawing the biggest audience in the festival’s history.
Most careers don’t survive that gap.
That’s longevity. Kylie.
JADE tears up while giving a speech at the final show of her first solo tour:
“Thank you so so much Hamburg, from the bottom of my heart. Before I do my final song, there are so many people I need to thank who have put this show together. […]
Everybody on this team [is a very good friend]. I think that speaks for itself – surrounding yourself with really great people who not only do the job well, but everybody on this tour has gone above and beyond to make this show work tonight.
I have a lot of ambition. I hope you’ve seen that we’ve put as much as we possibly could into the show. It isn’t just about my creative brain and what I want to bring to the stage – everybody on my team has really done more than their job to make this happen, and that really means the world to me… [Tears up]
I know it’s a bit of a lengthy speech tonight, but it’s because it’s the last night and it’s really important to say these things. I’m so grateful to my team. They’ve gone above and beyond to make this show what it is. I hope you know how much I love and appreciate you all, and how grateful I am.
Last but not least, I have to thank you – my fans... [Chokes up]
I’ve said this so many nights on the tour, but I really do mean it: I feel so honoured and lucky that I was in a girl-band for over 10 years, and I feel even luckier that I’ve got to start again at a solo artist.
I couldn’t have predicted that I’d still be able to do this. I hope that shows people in the audience that it’s never too late to keep dreaming. I never thought 15 years into my career, I’d be able to do my own solo tour.
Thank you for making my dreams come true. You did that.
Wow… It’s an emotional one. I have to thank as well – there’s been so many new fans who have joined the JADE fandom, which is so so lovely. There’s also some day ones here tonight. Some of you have been to every single show, and it just blows my mind that you want to invest so much time and effort and energy into me as an artist. I really hope you know that I appreciate you, I love you, and I’m very aware that I would not be here without you.
And also, I have to thank the gays and the gals! I would not be here without you. Thank you so much. I promise to always be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.”
Little Mix just broke TWO new records:
