My brother and I arrived early outside the artist entrance, hoping to meet my idol whom I had admired for decades. Finally, he drove in, surrounded by security guards, but that did not stop him from approaching us. I shook his hand before he took my pen and signed my Oxygene and AERO CDs. We exchanged a few words, during which I welcomed him to Norway. He was as nice as everyone says he is, and he was in no hurry.

After the concert, we lined up again outside the artist entrance in hopes of seeing him once more before he left. Suddenly, many more fans had gathered. Eventually, he came out alongside Francis Rimbert, who unfortunately remained somewhat in the shadow of the main act. This time, I had to wait in line to take a picture with him before he signed the newly purchased Oxygene poster. The excitement did not diminish from this experience.
