“Tour as a general has been bigger and better than I imagined or speculated. This venue does mean a lot to me. I’ve had a lot of special moments here. So, this is almost the epitome of the idea of the tour. And in general me career, you know, going really well at the moment. Better than maybe I imagined it, it would have done a couple of years ago. I know when I walk out tonight, that it’s not just, and it’s not, ironically, it’s not just the size. It is, there’s a feeling here and I’ll feel like a sense of accomplishment when I walk out tonight. I’ve done really special things here you know over the course of me career. So to be here again, but completely on me own for a sold out tour show. Yeah, it feels [?]”

This speech 😭😭💙 transcript below but the emotion in his voice, the rasp 💯
Wembley Arena London! You have blown my fookin mind in here tonight. For once I feel fookin speechless. Honestly this is a fooking dream come true to be playing here. As I said already there's been a lot of special fuckin moments for me here, this is where I did my first-ever fooking solo performance right here on the X Factor right here. This is where we were fooking put together as a band in this venue! So to be playing a venue like this on my first fooking tour - I'm mind blown.
I FUCKING LOVE ALL OF YOU...even with a broken fooking elbow...it's only fractured, to be fair.
