I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has gone out of their way to be so kind to me and say hello to me during my stay in London. It really has been quite overwhelming to see so many happy smiling faces at the various events I'm attending. I am very lucky to have such a loyal and loving group of people cheering me on and I want you to know that I'm very grateful for the love I feel from all of you.

My only way to repay you for your incredible support and loyalty is by trying to make the best record I know how to make. The recording has been going incredibly well.I'm so pleased with the music that is being created and I can't wait to share it with you. Until then, just know that you make me feel like the luckiest guy on earth.

nothing fails
no more tears
nothing fails
you washed away my tears
(Madonna, Nothing Fails - American Life)

with love and thanks always
