“I picked a goal, and then imagined all the details.

“I believe imagination is magical, that we can think of something and bring it into being.”

The concert was hit half way by a storm of epic proportions. Undeterred by the weather, the star heroically battled on in the conditions, until the concert was finally brought to a standstill.

Vowing to come back for her fans the Dream Girl returned the next day to finish the concert in legendary style.
