In a post that conveyed his appreciation for the experience, Noah wrote, “London, I am so grateful and will truly never forget these 3 nights at the O2 with you. There were 50,000 people at the shows but it felt like an intimate club…and then on the tube ride home it definitely felt like 50,000 people.”
