Hi Steve/Steve's management team.

I know that this is a strange request and I may come across as a freeloader however it's worth it for me to at least try. My dad's 60th Birthday is coming this year. Steve is his hero and he goes all up and down the country watching him perform (making fans out of all his kids, too) . If I could have my time back and do it again I would show him how much we all respected him and how grateful we are for everything he's ever done for us. He lost both parents in 2019 and although true to form he puts on a brave face for us all, I know it has affected him. What I ask (cheekily) is for some form of birthday message from Steve. I completely understand if this is unacceptable to ask but I thought I'd give it a try. If you've read this far, thank you.

And thank you for all the years of shows and everything you've done in and out of music. I know it definitely impacted my childhood in a positive way. (My first show was 20 years ago at Lincoln cathedral I believe).
