From Porto Alegre to the bustling city of São Paulo, the Brazilian shows immediately took off with amazingly enthusiastic reactions. Rio was a real high point, and both Niteroi and Belo Horizonte had terrific crowds as well. I believe it was the best vibe on tour in Brazil since Genesis played there in 1977!
It was good to see some old pals like my musician / singer friend Ritchie, who joined tour manager Adrian, Jo and me for a trip up Sugarloaf Mountain. What amazing views you get from there, including forest covered mountains and the dream-like archipelagos in the ocean... It was lovely to share this inspirational place with Jo. Fun to be staying in a hotel with beautiful views of the sea and Copacabana beach, accompanied to the sound of Samba and surf...
A big thank you to promotor Steve Altit and his team for making the Brazil tour such a fabulous and successful experience!
As always, many thanks to Brian Coles, Wayne Forte and all at Entourage Talent, as well as Adrian Holmes and everyone on the road. This whole tour from North to South America has been amazing... I look forward to returning as soon as possible!
