‘The need to collaborate is the greatest reward of the medium, and some of you and many others with whom I have collaborated for more than 30 years, people from whom I have learned and who have encouraged, guided and inspired me, are the reason why I have this star,’ he added.

Being in your orbit has made me a better artist, I dare say a better person, and I look forward to our next adventure, dear brother, whatever form it takes.’
