00:00And to my husband, who's been my rock, because I haven't been able to come to many of the previews because, as you know, I've lost my eyesight, so it's hard for me to see it, but I love to hear it.
00:13And boy, is Sandy good tonight, okay?
00:15So thank you for coming, and supporting you all and supporting Sandy.
00:19We'd also like to thank our co-producer partners in the house tonight. You've been wonderful. It's so great to have you here.
00:32Tonight is a fundraiser for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and today is World AIDS Day.
00:37And none of this would have been possible without the extremely generous support of Pamela Rowland, Bill and Tanny Austin, Reina Pinchuk, and the Caring Family Foundation.
00:48Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
00:53As you make your way out tonight, there are people taking elections in buckets.
00:58I can't think of a better way to celebrate World AIDS Day by making a generous donation to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
01:04We work here in the UK. We work around the world.
01:07We will not stop until AIDS is over.
01:10So please support us.
01:16See you later, baby.
