00:00You're not going to believe it, but we found Ken.
00:08Where is Ken? How can I meet Ken?
00:18Ken!
00:25Will you come to me to the center of the stage?
00:28Of course.
00:30Let's go.
00:41These are your fans.
00:42I know. For two minutes.
00:44This is awesome. Hold on.
00:46I need to join you, Ken, with my hat.
00:51Okay.
00:53I've got to get it the right way on.
00:56This is a Stetson, right?
00:57Yes.
00:58Yes, it is.
01:00Ken, do you have a favorite song of mine?
01:03The one I remember most is, because it was an award-winning video,
01:07is Don't Be Stupid, because of the Irish dancing in the water trough.
01:13That's right.
01:14Can you dance like that?
01:16No, no, no.
01:20What about singing? Do you like to sing?
01:22No, dear, I don't sing either.
01:24He's not going to sing or dance.
01:26I don't go on stage either.
01:28I mean, this is...
01:30These guys are all here listening to every word that you say.
01:34Come on, Litham. Give some love to Ken.
01:42Unbelievable.
01:44I'm just so happy to meet you,
01:45and I know that you only live a few minutes from here.
01:48Yes, I live three or four miles away.
01:51So, I mean, come on, this is fabulous.
01:54How did you get here? Did you take a bike?
01:56You don't live... It's not worth driving here when there's a concert.
01:59It's a bus, dear.
02:00Oh, it's a bus. Good. I love that.
02:04Okay, I want to sing something for you, but I already did Up.
02:08Do you have a different song that you love?
02:11Apart from that one?
02:12Yeah.
02:13Well, you've done most of them already.
02:15It's true.
02:17Well, I'm about to do another one that you might know.
02:21That Don't Impress Me Much.
02:25So you got the good behavior, got the touch,
02:29now don't get me wrong.
02:31Yeah, I think you're all right.
02:33That won't keep me warm in the middle of the night.
02:39All right, so what do you think? You're Ken or something?
02:42Oh, see that? See that again? See that again?
02:45I'm impressed.
02:51Listen, I need to get a photo.
02:54Do you have a phone?
02:56Not with me, no.
02:57No, that's okay. We'll get a photo.
02:59If you look at this guy here, we'll get a photo together.
03:02We're going to get a photo together.
03:10I first saw you in 1999.
03:12In 1999.
03:14That's when I first saw you, Wembley.
03:16You saw me at Wembley, 1999.
03:18I don't even remember which album that was.
03:21It was a long time ago when I first started coming over here.
03:24And I want to say thank you for being with me all these years, Ken.
03:29My pleasure.
03:35Thank you.
03:37Wave to everyone.
03:39I'll go back into oblivion now.
03:41Oh yeah, he's going to go back into oblivion.
03:44We are in oblivion right now.
03:46Wave to everyone, Ken.
03:51Hello.
04:03I want to say hello to Elaine.
04:05That's Ken's wife.
04:07Hello, Elaine.
04:10All right, let's get you off.
04:11Unless you want to stay up here.
04:13No.
04:16But isn't the audience beautiful?
04:19Wonderful, yeah.
04:20I've never seen so many people.
04:22It's beautiful from up here, trust me.
04:24All right, Ken, we're going to get you off.
04:27We're going to get you back to Elaine, your wife.
04:42That's so sweet.
04:43Ken's like, he's saying like, this is a dream.
04:46But this is my dream.
04:48You need to know that this is, I'm living my dream.
04:54And I just, all I can say is thank you for sharing my dream.
04:57I mean, listen, you guys.
04:59I'm going to be 59 and I'm standing up here in my frigging underwear.
05:10Like, I'm loving life right now.
