A message from Errol after The Farewell Tour 2009

I would like to thank you for coming out in large numbers right across the UK to once again show your love and support. The atmosphere at the concerts were the best ever and you played your part in making me realise just how wrong it would have been to have just drifted away and not say goodbye. The love I felt at each concert will stay in my heart forever. I wish you love peace and happiness in your lives. Love You, Errol x
