There’s also going to be a special hug on the night for her manager, the London-based Simon Goldstone. “He’s the only manager I’ve ever had, and our relationship goes back 15 years, to a time when I was starting off. Agents kept turning me down and I was very disheartened. When Simon called and told me that he thought he could make me a star, I told him he was crazy, but I went with him anyway – and one of the first things he said was that he just couldn’t wait to hear me sing at the Last Night of the Proms. So this is one for you, Simon.”
