Some of the venues we’ve played so far on this tour have been pretty lovely
All different
But all immacualte
FILLED with staff
That’s something that we see consistently backstage
Lots and LOTS of staff
For me to walk from backstage, out to the front, to see Mum at the merchandise desk
I would have people walking with me
Security don’t like you walking around by yourself
So at all times, there was at least 2 security guards with me
I’m sure this had NOTHING to do with them not trusting me
And the stolen hand towels incident from 2008
They WERE a gift, I swear
It felt a little weird being escorted everywhere
But it’s better than the alternative, right?
When we played the 2 Johannesburg shows
I was told that I had to have my own bodyguard
It sounded very unnecessary and completely weird
But those were the rules there
He was stationed outside my dressing room all night
I told him my real name was Whitney
And I’m pretty sure he loved hearing me belt out “I Will Always Love You” each night before the show
Warm ups ‘n shit
He has a beautiful African name that is crazy hard to pronounce
So I just called him Kevin
That’s Mr Costner to you
so you’ll go…but you know…you will think of him each step of the way…’cause he ee ee ee ee will be shadowing you…yeah, he ee ee…ee ee will be following you ooooooooooooooh ooooooooh
Nice to know Kevin has your back…side covered! CJx
Thanks for the great show last night! I have never laughed so much in my life. It was Awesome… Hope you guys enjoyed the stay in Port Elizabeth.
We did Jannie! Glad you enjoyed it mate – hopefully see you again in a couple of years x
Any chance the 2010 August video is floating around? Might be the last video my dad was in
no mate, sorry :/
