After following the performance of the Canadian hits, the journalist did not think twice to gather on Sunday (30) to the group of admirers at the door of the hotel where the musician and his team are staying.
Going beyond the collective intention to see him-even for brief seconds-the young woman still has another wish: to take a selfie next to the. THE CNNDora says she appeared in the stretch of one of the singer’s documentaries, and now tries to get lucky to approach the star.
“If I could say something to him what would I say? Oh, I really wanted to thank you, because there are few artists who are not carried away for fame. I wanted to thank him to be so sincere and honest with us, for taking care of mental health and pulling the importance of this important subject,” he says.
“I wanted to say that his songs help us connect. I think I wanted to thank you so much. I’m here. I still enjoy it even after so long. I see him at the show and smile. It’s a very strong thing. Only who is a fan understands that. ”

Although we are a fan, and he idol, we have a very honest relationship,” he says.
