Fans of Gary Valenciano have something to look forward to as the awward-winning singer is set to perform at his upcoming concert ‘Pure Energy: One Last Time” this year.

The event will be held on April 26 and 27 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

During a press conference held recently, Gary clarified that he is not retiring but admits that he will no longer be performing at big stages.

“You know, I met with my team like this and many of them were saying, ‘You cannot call it ‘one last time.’ I look at them and told them, ‘I’m also human. I’m already 59.’

He continued on and said, “Kunwari, hindi ganyan ang title but the next time I do a concert at the coliseum–any coliseum whether Philippine Arena, [Mall of Asia], or Aranteta–it will be in two years’ time. I’ll be 62 by then. I don’t want people to put their hands together, watching me, and saying, ‘Magaling, pero medyo humihina na siya, hingal na hingal na. Hindi, bravo, ang galing.’”

“Ayaw kong umabot ng ganun and my body is feeling that, especially in big stages kasi iba ‘yung dynamics. I can do this [does small dance moves] when I’m at the Music Museum or in a school thing or an auditorium of 2,000 people. But when you’re in 10,000 people, you have to do this [does big dance moves]. It’s not as easy,” Gary added. 

On another note, Gary then shared that the concert is actually based on a vision he had back in 2008.

“There’s a vision. I don’t wanna get too spiritual here, but in 2008, I experienced, literally, a vision. I was wide awake, I was with my wife, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I saw this thing take place.”

“That vision will be shared in this concert. That vision won’t just be shared, but people will see what I saw. That, hopefully, will make people know, ‘Okay, we understand now why it’s the last time of this scale,’” the celeb underscored.
