I wanted to let him know that how I was completely aware of his situation now, and how I can help him get through this. I tried pulling the crowd back just to get one chance to talk to him. But the local media people had already hijacked him. “Sir we are honored that you chose our city to end your tour. We were wondering if you can spare some time for the fans and answer a few questions.” Joe wanted to hesitate I could tell. But putting up a convincing smile, he said, “Sure, why not?” And they went on asking him questions, questions that were too cliché for an artist like him. Where did you began? Who do you look up to?

Because I can clearly see you breaking it.” He interrupted subtly. People over here never talk to me like that.
