My husband is very excited to see Miss Brightman in concert. We were given tickets by our daughter for Christmas and have been waiting for March 3rd to get here. My husband Greg would be so honored to have a photo taken with Sarah, he simply adores her and finds her music soothing to the soul.
Good news! I’m so excited that Sarah is coming, I hope this tour would be as stunning as the last one. I adore her.
