He later explained that after performing for two hours in Germany, he and his team arrived at the airport before curfew and there was a part of the area that was already closed.
In order to get to the plane, they were required to go on an "extremely long walk" so his team told him that he should use a wheelchair in order to rest.
"My team kindly laid on a wheelchair so I could rest my hip after doing the show. That's all folks," he noted.
