So, tonight’s the night! Il Divo are performing the first night of their world tour at Grand Arena Casino, Cape Town, South Africa.
Seb, David, Carlos and Urs would love to hear your messages of good luck and support.
During rehearsals in London last week we got up close and personal to find out how they were feeling before they embarked on travelling the world…
Urs – what is your favourite song from the new set?
"In the last few days of rehearsing I have grown really fond of "Crying" and "Stay". We've adapted the arrangement for the purpose of the Il Divo live show and I love the new version, I think it sounds fantastic and I'm very curious how the audience is going to appreciate the little surprise."
David - what are you looking forward to most about going on tour?
"I am looking forward to being in front of the fans again. It had been far too long. It is on stage that we really feel most comfortable with our music. Recording is fun and TV performances are a lot fun too but when we play our live shows, that's where it comes alive for us."
Seb - what will you miss most about being away and is there anything you take on the road to remind you of home?
"I will miss my lovely wife and children. When I’m on the road I take my favourite pillow for comfort and a beautiful collection of photos of the family as a constant reminder."
Carlos - what’s your favourite item of tour wardrobe is and do you wear anything for good luck?
"My favourite piece of wardrobe is my tuxedo! The one thing I need for good luck is my voice and a clear head…to remember all the ladies phone numbers after the show…hahaha!!"
Urs tells us what he’s looking forward to most about the tour.
"I’m of course really looking forward to travelling around the world to so many different countries especially because we have been to most places before so we know them a little bit. Although, we haven't been to some of these wonderful places for a few years so, that's very exciting. Most of all I am looking forward to singing our new show with all the new songs from ‘Wicked Game’ as well as many of our classics. I am a singer and that's my passion so the coming year will give me plenty of opportunity to indulge myself in singing and performing. Plus at the same time hopefully making a lot of people very happy!"
