It's a daunting prospect and one I am preparing seriously for. I want this to be a night to remember in every way….tears, laughter and lots of rock and roll. This has been my life. Nobody in the world rocks as hard as the Aussies….and from me that's what they're gonna get….foot on the gas and go.
So looking forward to this tour,
love Suzi xxxx"
