"You've helped me in ways that I can't even describe, and I'm truly so fortunate to have your support. I've missed you so much. And that brings me back to my birthday, actually. So this year, I'm getting the best gift of my life.
"I'm getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September this year."
