As the end of the tour drew near, we hit Paris, and it was my Birthday.
Dizzee got the crowd to sing Happy Birthday to me in English, then in French.
It was a very moving experience, and I can honestly say that I've never been in that situation before.
Big up Dizz, Scope, Paddy for filming it the wrong way round on his iphone, and the label that bought me Steak and Champers after the show. Great night!

The Tongue N Cheek tour was sold out several months ago. We started out in Edinburgh last night, and tonight we were in Glasgow.
Dizzee felt that it was only right that he repped Scotland to the fullest, and performed Bonkers.......wearing a kilt.
Braveheart hasn't got sh*t on Dizzee Rascal.
You're so not ready for the Skanks.
