On Feb 6th, I took my dad to see Bryan Adams in Melbourne. It's my 3rd concert seeing him (2 in Melbourne, 1 in London). This show was just incredible. Hands down, this man still has it!
But, it was the fact that at this concert, Bryan Adams and James Arthur sang the song "Rewrite the stars" at this show for what I am certain was the very first time they ever did. This song is from The Greatest Showman, a film my sister Nikki loved and that I watch now to help remember her. 6 months before she was in palliative care, Nikki was married and I quoted lyrics to this song in the speech I made at her wedding! It's been 5 years since we lost her. But when moments like these happen, serendipitous ones really, it reminds me that she is still there. They didn't have to sing this song (and did it brilliantly), but to hear that sung in person on that night, made this concert the most special one to me because of it. They all have been, but this was just perfection.
Thank you Bryan and James for giving me such a gift. You have no idea how much it meant.
