Nice article about Leon. Seems he is as modest as always and thinking of his fans! Great to see he is working hard on the album too!

He might be a big Leon fan. He did give him some chewing gum

two pieces no less...he must be a fan!

As long as Leon doesn't take inspiration from Mika for his album...

Hear that wailing sound?

That's the sound of the Leonardo's having a nervous brekadown...

It doesn't mention whether they were fresh from the packet, I note. You have to be so careful when writing these sorts of blogs, I feel.

In fairness, Mika's album has sold more than a million copies, so he must be doing something right! Nothing wrong with a bit of Mika!!

Ah, bless Leon. I wonder if the whole jazz bar thing was for him, or if it was just planned for whoever was singing?

Lol, far comment, Mika has done well for himself, he's music's just not for me...but then as I have Otis Redding on my CD player as I type I suppose it wouldn't be!

I kind of think it might tie in with whatever he performed there...

Maybe he did a bit of YDNM/FMTTM....that kind of thing?

Maybe he sang something completely new

Or perhaps Come Fly With Me, he sang that on his homecoming, did he not?

I'm amazed that his fans haven't even't been told what he sang in Dubai, let alone any more details about the gig apart from the theme of the stage layout . I find that slightly disrespectful to them, tbh.

Isn't this just a rewrite of what was on his blog, presumably written by Leon himself?

I stood next to Tom Baker at the bar at New Street station once. He ordered a gin and tonic. He didn't give me any though!

I love Mika btw.

Not at all. It was a corporte gig, after all, not a public one, though these shindigs are of course very influential.

With his level of talent, he should be modest and it must be taking him a long time to think of all those fans

Yep, it is pretty much that...

Poor you, must have been a distressing experience...I met Philip Scofield in Starbucks once...surprisingly while he was a very nice guy he was unwilling to let me share his crossiant...

Nice bit from Leon.

You see, that's one of the things about him, he has such a charm in his humility and is so awestruck by the smallest of things. Even the sharing of a piece of gum.

I was speechless as I was a great fan, and couldn't say hello. He had the scarf on too!

He certainly does...I think really it would take a hard hearted person not to find that a sweet little article...

Tom Baker was my favourite Dr Who


Two pieces of gum that's just greedy

Bless Leon for being starstruck by Mika, that is a lovely article and yes, it is written in Leon's blog.

I love Mika too. I like his music plus he's an interesting character.

I am having a nervous breakdown at the idea as well!

I disagree and he did win the biggest talent show in the UK also
