I had the absolute pleasure of attending Alexander Stewart’s bleeding heart tour in Manchester, I not only attended Alexander’s concert but I had the opportunity to attend his VIP session too.
From the second we arrived at the venue the atmosphere was insane, fans lined up outside the venue and the fans attending VIP all chatting together inside the venue, everyone was so lovely and was swapping social media handles whilst waiting to go into VIP, everyone was laughing and sharing sweets and just all round been so so lovely.
Once it was time to go into VIP, everyone queued up and waited for their turn to meet Alexander, the second he walked in the room you could feel the buzz, Alexander looked so overwhelmingly happy it made our hearts happy.
When my turn finally came to meet Alexander he greeted me with a huge smile and the biggest hug, we asked Alexander how he was and he told us he was doing great and thanked us for coming, as we got chatting it came up that it took us just over 4 hours to get to the venue today, he was shocked and thanked us again. On this tour Alexander had been collecting stickers for his suitcase, personal little souvenirs from the tour, I wanted to give him something that was a little different to the stickers I had seen him receive, so I personalised a sticker of Alexander wearing love heart sunglasses then put a photo of myself and my friend (who attended with me) in the lense of the glasses, this was something quite out there but I knew Alexander would find it funny…. At least I hoped so
When I was talking to Alexander I told him I’d brought him something for his suitcase, he got excited instantly… I had to warn him it was a bit out there before I handed it over, Alexander started laughing immediately and found it just as hilarious as I did when I made it, we had such a good laugh talking about it and Alexander said we’ll be at every show on tour with him, shortly after we had our photo taken with Alexander before exchanging another hug and saying our goodbyes ready for the show ahead.
Alexander was supported by the insanely talented Emmy Meli, I had only heard a few of her songs before this night but I came away a huge fan of her incredible vocals, ever growing stage presence and just how kind of a person she was, checking in with the crowd frequently, stopping her set for a medical incident and not continuing until she was certain that it was safe to do so, Emmy is insanely talented and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her!
Alexander sang some of his old songs, a couple covers and of course songs from his bleeding heart album. Each and every song was sang with so much emotion, some songs pulling on heart strings and others allowing us to let out any inner rage, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so many emotions all at once during a gig before.
Alexander Stewart is quite possibly one of the most talented people I have ever had the pleasure of seeing live, his insane vocal range, raw emotion and love for it all just shines through, I honestly can’t believe I witnessed such magic.
I really cannot wait to see what the future holds for Alexander, I know the futures bright for him, he is such a beautiful soul and I am eternally grateful I got to experience this night🖤
