Goodbye Varekai
We would like to collectively thank all our fellow artists and colleagues who we would like to name all individually but the list would be far too long. We’ve experienced so much with you all over the years. So many laughs and so many tears. So many successes and so many failures. So many fights and so many reconciliations. You are all amazing people. Whether from near or far you have influenced and touched our lives with your own masteries. Thanks to you we’re taking away with us the best gift of all. Our memories. Thanks for making our dreams come true.
We miss you!
