Meeting your idol, my hero. We became friends and he asked me to sing ‘Stan’ with him, which is my favorite song of his, at the Rock and Roll hall of fame.

He continues: I’m on stage right now, thinking, ‘How the hell did I get on this stage?’ It was just a lovely, lovely day. I love him and congratulations on being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”
