Drake officially kicked off his long-awaited Australian tour with a heartfelt message to his fans, reminding them — and the world — that he’s “still alive.” Performing in Perth on Feb. 4, the Canadian superstar took a moment toward the end of his show to reflect on his journey and express gratitude for his comeback.
“My name is Drake. I started in 2008, I came all the way from Toronto, Canada. The year is now 2025, and Drizzy Drake is very much still alive,” he told the cheering crowd, video footage captured by fans shows.
This marked Drake’s first performance in Australia in eight years, and he made sure to let his fans know he wouldn’t keep them waiting so long again. “I’m never gonna wait this long to come back again,” he vowed, leaving the crowd buzzing with excitement.
Oh, but wait, Drizzy also hyped up his upcoming project with PARTYNEXTDOOR, announcing that their joint album, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U, would be released on Feb.14. “My new album with PARTYNEXTDOOR comes out on Feb. 14. I hope you enjoy it,” Drake shared with his fans.
As he tends to do when his performance wraps up, Drake gave some parting words of advice, emphasizing the importance of looking out for each other. “It’s too many f*cking… too many weird things goin’ on out here, so make sure you take care of each other,” he said, leaving the crowd with a sense of unity and anticipation for what’s to come in 2025.
With a fresh project on the way, it’s clear that Drake is setting his sights on a successful year, leaving any challenges of 2024 behind as he gears up for a new era in his career.
