Speaking to Official Charts, Griff said: “For everyone who has listened to my music and followed my journey, it's been a real rollercoaster ride. It means the world to me that you've supported me, bought the album, listened to it and streamed it. I love you all forever and hope to see you all on tour and sing the album with me.”
