Later on, he noted that it feels wonderful as they were not able to perform for over seven years and initially, they were unsure if the public still knows them, but they came back stronger in terms of "business" and "enthusiaism."
"Everything sold out immediately. So it was a wonderful surprise and, I think, just a tribute to the craft," he noted.
