Pitbull gave a heartfelt thank you to all “the baldies” who came along to last night’s BST Hyde Park concert, setting a record for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps in the process.
Thousands of fans descended on London’s Hyde Park last night (July 10) donning bald caps, aviators, and leather jackets in the spirit of Mr Worldwide. Ahead of his performance, concertgoers gathered by the main stage to be officially counted, and it was later confirmed that the record had been set at 22,141 bald cap wearers, something he described as a “blessing” and an “honour”.
Having later taken to the Great Oak Stage to play hits including ‘Don’t Stop The Party’, ‘International Love’, ‘I Feel Good’ and more, he took a moment to thank the fans who emulated his style.
“I’m just taking it all in,” an emotional Pitbull told the crowd. “It’s hard for me to say I’m speechless. But all I can think of right now is what my family went through in order for me to be able to be someone free.
“An immigrant family out of Cuba. To be able to pursue my dream and be on the stage like this, represent with all the baldies around the world. This is priceless. There’s no way I can say thank you. There is no words I can say what I feel right now.”
