And tonight's event all is all about supporting the fight against breast cancer. Have you ever had anyone in your life that suffered from breast cancer or something like that and how did it affect you?

Not extremely, extremely close, but yes, friends of mine and it's, you know, it's like when they asked me, it was just a no-brainer. It was something that I was happy to be a part of.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. And then the hashtag for tonight is we can survive. What's one thing in your life that makes you feel the most alive right now?

Music. Music, absolutely. Music is an incredible thing because once you record it, it's like you you cap this energy in a bottle and it can last forever, you know what I mean? And it can even outlive us. Like so, music can travel farther than we can, it can live longer than we can. It's an incredible powerful thing and it brings us together and that's why a night like tonight's so special because you got all these thousands of people and all these great artists that have been brought together because of music.
