Stormzy took to the AO Arena in Manchester for what he described as 'the biggest show in his life' on Saturday and it certainly felt it. The arena was packed with fans of the artist, young and old, eagerly awaiting to see him perform after a two-year wait.
It was clear from the very start just how big the support was for Stormzy - whose real name is Michael Ebenezer Kwadjo Omari Owuo. People of all ages were up dancing to tracks played by Rachael Anson, and MC'd by Radio 1 Xtra DJ Remi Burgz, with the duo getting the arena popping with Afrobeats, Dancehall, Rap and chart tracks.
I started smiling when I noticed so many kids around me dancing and just having a good time with their mates. It reminded me how much joy you can find in life if you really look, given what's going on around us, and that there are still people who are genuinely happy just to be living in the moment.
