In mid-October, Link's first tour began. The first stop was Miami, and the concert was held at the Hard Rock Stadium, where the WBA boxing championship was held.
The first concert attracted 87,000 Miami audience to watch.
It was more lively than Lady Gaga's concert in Miami.
The first song of the first concert was "See You Again", a duet with Wiz Khalifa, and the second half attracted tens of thousands of people to sing along.
The finale is the Spanish song "Despacito", and invited Fat James, Michael, Daniel, and more than 30 beach neighbors, and 50 professional dancers to dance Latin dance on stage together.
During the performance, the audience also danced along.
The atmosphere at the scene is extremely explosive.
"That's great, Link, did you see it? Tens of thousands of people under the stage danced with us, rumbling, like an earthquake."
After the performance, Fatty James danced excitedly, his big face flushed.
He was still wearing a baseball cap, his reddish-brown curly hair hung under the brim like a cloak, he was wearing an oversized Heat jersey, a gold chain hung around his neck, and he was dressed like a hip-hop youth.
"Yes, it feels great to dance on stage."
"It's like a dream, I never thought that one day I would dance in front of so many people."
Daniel from the hot dog shop and Michael from the surfboard shop also talked excitedly.
Link sat in the nanny car, smiling and looking at the three of them. This time he came to Miami for a concert and invited the three of them and the neighbors around him to dance on stage, which was also a temporary idea.
After discussing with director Ortega and choreographer Mikaram, the two thought it was worth considering. First, ask everyone to come and try it out to see how the live effect is.
After trying it, it's not bad.
Most of the residents on the beach can dance Latin dance, and they often have parties on the beach to sing and dance together. The only thing to consider is courage. Performing on a stage of tens of thousands of people, those with small courage cannot let go, and it is easy to make mistakes.
James didn't want to go up at first, but after everyone's persuasion, he bit the bullet and went on stage to dance, but in the end he had the most fun.
"Hey, Link, you are a superstar now, how do you feel?"
Michael asked, gesturing with his hands.
"It feels good."
Link smiled lightly and poured a glass of champagne for the three of them.
"Just okay? I think it must be very cool. When you first came on stage, more than 80,000 people cheered together. Wow, that scene, my heart was pounding when I watched it from the audience, if I was on it, one Personally facing the cheers of eighty to ninety thousand people, I might have a heart attack."
Michael was panting as he spoke, as if he was experiencing that scene.
"You have to know that this is not the first time I have experienced this kind of scene. In the boxing ring, in other concerts, and on the stage of MTV and Grammy, those scenes are not smaller than this time. I have experienced too much, and I am used to it."
"Link, aren't you boxing, why did you become a big singer star again? It's amazing."
Daniel from the hot dog shop asked with champagne.
"Good luck, I originally released the album just to test the waters, but I didn't expect the first album to sell well, and then I became a singer."
Link laughed.
This is also the truth.
If the sales of the first album are too poor and the market does not accept this type of singer, he will focus on boxing and make money through boxing, but the sales of both albums are good.
"Is it so easy to be a singer? Link, look at me, if I become a singer, will I have a chance to become famous?"
Michael asked excitedly.
Link sized Michael up. His image is considered above average in the music industry, but being a singer requires a high level of voice and creative talent, and whether a person can become a singer cannot be seen.
"Sing a song and let me listen?"
"Here? Forget it, I'm a little nervous singing in front of you."
Michael shrugged and smiled.
"Michael, don't think about it, it's not that easy to be a singer."
James said, blowing the air conditioner in the car.
Link shook his head, he knew that Michael had a star dream, and he didn't want to just be an ordinary surfboard shop owner, it's good to have this kind of thinking, it's better than Fatty who only knows how to guard the Baker shop all day long.
"It's not that difficult, Michael, if you want to be a singer, you can shoot a cover video and post it on YouTube. Now many record company scouts pick people from it, you can try it."
"Ok, I get it."
Michael nodded.
"Link, can you stay in Miami for a few days after the concert?"
James turned his head and asked.
"Houston is also ready, go to Houston for rehearsal tomorrow, and perform the day after tomorrow."
"So fast? You are too busy in one day, we originally planned to hold a party on the beach to celebrate your successful performance."
James frowned.
"Next time! I'm very busy during this time, I don't have time to play, I'll probably be more free next year."
Link chuckled lightly.
Arriving at Palm Beach Coastal Avenue, the commercial vehicle slowly stopped, James and the three got out of the car, Link glanced at Baker's shop by the sea from the car window, and asked Bob to drive away.
"Link is a big star now, I feel like he will probably never come back to the beach again."
Daniel looked at the car going away and said.
"Yes, he is a billionaire now, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, I heard that he has big villas in New York and Los Angeles, what is he doing back to the beach."
Michael said enviously.
"No, he will come back, he said that when he gets rich in the future, he will buy a big villa in Miami Gardens, I believe what he said."
James said indifferently.
The three walked side by side towards the small shop by the beach. The setting sun shone on the three of them, drawing their figures very long. Suddenly Michael sighed and said, "Do you think life is boring now?"
James shook his head, "No!"
Daniel said there was a little bit, but it felt okay.
Michael spread his hands and said: "I think living like Link is not in vain. I live in a big hotel, drive a luxury car, make a big singer girlfriend, do what I want every day, and go wherever I go. Many people pay attention to him, it must be very enjoyable to live like him."
"Don't be kidding, I can't stand being busy like him flying around all day without even time to rest."
James shook his fleshy face and said.
"Isn't it good to be busy? I want to be as busy as Link."
Michael waved his hand and went back to his surfboard shop, and after a while, the sound of guitar came from the room.
"We're going to lose another playmate."
Daniel said while eating ice cream.
James scratched his cheek and pushed the door into Baker's shop.
The second stop of Link's concert is in Houston, the largest city in Texas.
The concert was held at NRG Stadium, and a total of 65,000 concert tickets were sold, all of which were sold out within three hours of going online. Because the number of tickets was limited, the sales speed was faster than that of Miami.
The guest of the concert that day was Selena Gomez, she was a native of Texas, and she only went to New York when she was ten years old. She will release her first album recently, and it is also a good publicity platform to be a guest at his concert.
At the concert, Link sang "Let it go", "Rainbow" and "unstoppable" with her.
The atmosphere at the scene is also very warm.
"Link, how was my performance?"
When she stepped off the stage after singing "Unstoppable", Selena took his hand, blinked her big eyes at him, and her small round face was filled with the words "Praise me, praise me".
"Wow~ It's incredible! Selena, you almost stole my limelight on stage just now, you are only seventeen years old, how can you be so powerful, are you a genius?"
Link looked at her in 'shock' and praised.
"Haha, you're right, I, Selena Gomez, am indeed a genius."
Selena patted her not-so-full chest, grinned triumphantly, and if she had a tail, she could raise it to the sky at this moment.
Dang!
Ms. Mandy knocked her on the forehead, "Genius lady, can you please get all A's in the next exam?"
Selena immediately puffed up her small face, covered her forehead, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Mom, everyone is so happy, why do you say such a spoiler, and, Ms. Mandy, I am your invited guest today, not your daughter, you'd better be polite to me, or I will complain to you."
"What?"
Ms. Mandy stared wide-eyed, so angry that she wanted to hit someone again.
Link smiled lightly, stopped Mandy and said, "Selena is right, she is a guest today, we should be nicer to her."
Selena raised her little face proudly, stuck out her tongue at Mandy, and then heard Link say, "It's not too late to beat her after the concert."
Selena's face immediately drooped, she rolled her eyes at him, feeling puzzled, and patted him again.
Link still had a performance next, so he didn't have time to chat backstage.
After changing clothes, he put on a sequined leather jacket, exposed his strong arms, took the elevator, and appeared on the stage again amidst a burst of dazzling fireworks.
There is also a rock band beside him, a famous underground band in Texas, invited to participate in the concert.
"Link! Link! Link!"
More than 50,000 fans under the stage waved their light sticks and shouted loudly, their voices like waves.
Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!
The band began to play the prelude to "Give me reason", the sound was high-pitched and intense.
The shouts of the audience under the stage were also like waves on the seashore, one wave after another.
It wasn't until Link walked to the microphone with his guitar and started singing that the audience's shouts gradually subsided.
I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remember the dark clouds, lightning and thunder everywhere
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
I recall every moment, the years are blurred
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
From mid-October to the end of November, Link held 17 concerts in major cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The largest number of attendees was Miami, and the number of attendees in other cities also remained at more than 30,000.
According to the plan of Universal Records and Atlantic Records, there are expected to be 73 concerts in the United States and the Americas, 55 in Europe, and more than 50 in Asia and Oceania.
These concerts are held in several stages, and after each stage is completed, Link and the tour team will also have some rest time to do other things.
So at the end of November, after the performance in Vancouver, Canada, he flew back to Los Angeles to prepare for the WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF four-organization super middleweight gold belt merger battle in early December.
