ALL: Hi, we're Il Divo.

(slaps hand) SEBASTIEN: Besos.

(All laughing) ♪ DAVID: I think Il Divo really was one of the first pioneers of classical crossover.

Obviously, you had groups like The Three Tenors and other acts that were bringing classical music to the forefront of consciousness for mainstream listeners.

We were kind of one of the first groups to really take pop music and give it a classical edge.

♪ SEBASTIAN: Hello guys.

Are you ready for the big day?

I'm not.

Where are we going here?

STEVEN: In the last 20 years, Il Divo has recorded many incredible songs, many anthemic pieces that are, you know, part of pop repertoire.

Some that they've taken from classical repertoire and reimagined into a pop song that fits the Il Divo style.

♪ E mille notti tu, non mi rispondi più ♪ ♪ E mille giorni ormai, chissà se tornerai ♪ ♪ Ma sai, quanta melanconia ♪ DAVID: For me, the defining moment for Il Divo was the moment we were sat in Simon Cowell's office and we heard back for the first time, "Unbreak My Heart."

It was the moment where we codified that experimentational sound that we were creating and really launched the next 20 years.

♪ URS: The record company never had intended for Il Divo to actually play live concerts.

They wanted us to be a recording artist and nothing more.

We insisted that there should be some touring.

And it so happened that on that very day where we played that very first show, Il Divo's second album, Ancora, just hit the top spot in the U.S.

Billboard charts.

♪ DAVID: The nature of Il Divo is- is quite unpredictable.

You never know whose voice is gonna show up.

(vocal warmups) We're going through our warmups for the show.

(vocal warmups) (vocal warmups) URS: Singing is a very passionate thing, and I always say as well, it's a very physical thing.

You know, you sing with your whole body, not just with your glotis, you know not just with your vocal cords.

It's a very wholesome feeling.

(vocal warmups) STEVEN: So when we were coming up with the concept of the album, we- a lot of it was, how can we celebrate 20 years of Il Divo?

So we referred back a lot to the first album and the second album, some original songs, a few covers, and with really particular Il Divo style, you know, taking a pop song and making it our own.

♪ But maybe I'm crazy ♪ Maybe you're crazy SEBASTIEN: When I heard the song, I had a vision for it.

I was like, "Guys, I think this would be such an amazing song to cover, for us."

Because I really wanted to re-invent the wheel, I turned the song upside down.

And because as I was telling you before, I was heavily involved with co-production, arranging the song.

So it holds a special place for me.

♪ URS: The XX album is a big, big statement after 20 years, being able to make a new album with a new member, and in my opinion, it's probably the album I'm most proud of.

♪ We had to find ourselves as a group.

♪ SEBASTIEN: Was not so much about having those big voices, but more like finding intimacy.

♪ STEVEN: The message is that love is universal.

We wanted the album to kind of reflect that.

♪ SEBASTIEN: Even the first part, actually the recording, Urs was in... URS: Barcelona.

SEBASTIEN: Barcelona.

URS: Yeah.

SEBASTIEN: Yeah, recording.

And we were in Miami, and we were a bit like skeptical.

Is this gonna work?

And it was magical.

It was effortless.

URS: And I think it's one of the best things we've ever done.

♪ Hoy tengo ganas de ti ♪ Quiero apagar en tus labios la sed de mi alma ♪ ♪ Y descubrir STEVEN: As a Mexican- American artist, I really wanted to bring, you know, a Latin song into the album.

The song, "Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti," was actually one of the tracks that I recommended to the group when we started planning the album about a year- almost a year ago.

It's a song that has been since the 1970s in Latin America, Spanish-speaking culture.

It's a very famous song.

I immediately thought of this song and I thought, "I would love to sing this song."

It is, you know, an amazing piece.

And our arrangement of it does have this epic James Bond, sexy, cinematic nature to it.

It's just an explosive Latin song.

♪ Quiero en tus manos abiertas buscar mi camino ♪ ♪ Y que te sientas DAVID: XX is actually a return for us.

Going back to our roots, going back 20 years ago, taking the format of a- a selection of really great, wonderful, beautiful songs and weaving our voices through it.

♪ Ti ♪ We had a great time, kind of reinvestigating the different ways our voices can blend together.

And obviously having Steven as a new member is kind of a- a turning point for us, whereas we're not really looking at the 20 years we've just come from, we're thinking about the 20 years we're moving into.

♪ Listening to our favorite song ♪ ♪ I have faith in what I see ♪ ♪ Now I know I have met an angel in person ♪ ♪ And she looks perfect ♪ I don't SEBASTIEN: What makes our fan base so unique and different, in my opinion, is the loyalty.

And we were just in Japan and I was just amazed to see, for example, you know, how people keep coming back, and it feels like- almost like an extended family to me.

And that makes them very special and unique, in my opinion.

♪ Afrontaré serenamente DAVID: The four of us are very serious about what we do.

But "My Way" is that moment in the show, where we've shown everybody what we do.

We've given 110% every night.

And this is the moment where it's like, "Okay, one more."

And it's fun.

It- we just kinda let our hair down and we just play around and we improvise a little bit.

Very little about Il Divo is improvised.

Why do you have to make everything uncomfortable?

♪ Jugué sin descansar (David chuckles) ♪ A mi manera We end up wandering around the stage, and it's- it's different every night.

And so it's a- it's a moment where we can step out of our own box and just have fun.

♪ And more much more than this ♪ ♪ I did it my way ♪ Yes, there were times I'm sure you knew ♪ SEBASTIEN: I think it's a moment of connections that is unexpected.

We're always trying to raise the bar higher and do something differently, because I think if we get excited then we get an audience that gets excited as well.

STEVEN: How can we make this our own?

URS: Can we pull this off?

♪ ♪ ♪ (audience applauding) ♪ URS: Tonight is a very special evening for all of us.

Not only busy because it's been so long that we've been in Taipei for the last time, but also because this is a one-off show.

This show you're gonna see and hear here tonight.

We only play this tonight here in Taipei for all of you.

(audience applauding) ♪ DAVID: And I think our legacy really, you know, we helped create a genre and we opened the door for so many other groups to create their own crossover sound and find their balance between pop music and- and maybe classical styles or other different styles.

And to be able to fuse those together.

I feel like we- we may have had a hand in opening the door for them.

So I'm very proud of that.

(audience applauding) Thank you all very much.

That last song is called Nella Fantasia or in English, it could translate as, um, of a fantasy.

And for us, music truly is that which makes life fantastic.

Now, for those of you who may be new to Il Divo, I feel like we should probably properly introduce ourselves.

Yes?

Yes, okay.

Let's start over here with our fantastic French gentleman, Mr. Sébastien Izambard.

(audience applauding and cheering) SEBASTIEN: Bonsoir.

Ni hao.

(audience applauding and cheering) DAVID: Next, we have a wonderful Swiss gentleman, Mr. Urs Bühler.

(audience applauding and cheering) URS: Ni hao.

Good evening.

(Urs speaks in foreign language) Thank you.

DAVID: I'm David.

I'm an American.

I'm not a gentleman.

(audience applauding and cheering) I mean it depends on who you ask.

(audience applauding) But next and certainly not least, we have from America and Mexico, Mr. Steven LaBrie.

(audience applauding and cheering) Now then, Steven began singing with us in 2022 to help us keep the sound of Il Divo after we lost our friend, our partner, and our brother, Carlos Marin to COVID.

And audiences all over the world, well, they've just been falling in love with Steven, so we decided to invite him to continue making music with us.

And in the Summer of 2023, we invited him to become the official fourth member of Il Divo.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Steven LaBrie.

And, um, it always amazes me and surprises me when we go into the studio, how we all approach a song in a way that we're trying to our- our own, make it our own.

And, over-think it like, oh, this is another cover.

You know?

And as we've performed over the years, we've seen a huge reaction to the song and became really a classic in our show.

And it's really bombastic at the end.

It's like with those big voices with counter melodies, which I really love, it feels very different to me than the original.

And I like that we've put a stamp to it and it became really an Il Divo classic.

♪ (audience applauding and cheering) STEVEN: We referred a lot back to the first album, the first couple albums, which is kind of a mixture of some original songs, some kind of classic standards, and then some newer songs at the time.

And so we wanted the album to kind of reflect that as a 20th anniversary.

And so "Perfect" being a newer song, was one of those kind of- that would balance out the set list.

You know, it's a beautiful song.

There's- it's romantic.

(laughs) It's a- an amazing wedding song.

And we just thought this would be really nice to have as well and give it our own spin.

(laughs) So stupid.

That's okay.

We're having fun, right?

Y'all having fun?

AUDIENCE: Yeah!

DAVID: Excellent.

So are we.

So Mama was, an original track that was written for the four of us.

It's supremely sentimental and it- it kind of goes through those everyday moments where you have this connection to your family, your mom, your dad, you know, whomever you have connection to in your family.

This song kind of encapsulates a different aspect of relationship as well.

Most of our music is romantically centric, relationship centric, about a breakup or the greatest love of your life or whatever.

And this song is unique because it is about relationship, but it's a relationship to family.

It's a different kind of love.

For me, specifically my mom, very much encouraged me to...

Sorry, getting a little emotional.

(laughs) Very much encouraged me to become a musician.

And so everything that's happening in my life is because of her.

Both my parents encouraged me, obviously, but she very much encouraged me to follow my passion for the arts.

And I found music was the strongest art for me.

Our treatment of it, and the- the- the powerful nature of it and how audiences respond to it.

There are a few kind of seminal tracks that we have.

Obviously "Unbreak My Heart," it's the song that put us on the map.

But this song really, it straddles the two worlds between pop music and pop production and the classical nature of our voices using a classical theme like this.

It really is the crown jewel of Il Divo's repertoire.

♪ (audience cheering) URS: "The Power of Love" by Jennifer Ross.

I do remember when that song came out in the eighties and I always loved it.

I thought it was a beautiful piece of music and I've been wanting to do it ever since.

I thought this song is like written for us.

Just the music has Il Divo written all over it.

And it took me 20 years to convince everybody around it to actually record it.

When we take a song, especially something that is very dear to our hearts, it's gotta be different or better or at least on par with the original.

Once we've approached it with our producer, I was disappointed at first.

T had not known the Jennifer Rush version.

He had taken the Céline Dion version.

I listened to that and I said, "You know what?

"I don't particularly like that version.

Please listen to this."

I think it's very beautiful.

It builds, it's a long song, but it's never boring.

It's always emotional.

So he re-worked his arrangement.

We went into the studio, it still sounded very eighties.

And then we said, "You know what?

Let's just embrace this, because that's how the song is originally written."

Hey, the eighties are back baby, as Steven would say.

It's probably not the most surprising piece of repertoire we have on XX, but to me it's very, very dear and very precious because it is something I've been wanting to do forever.

We've finally done it.

I'm proud of it.

I look very much forward performing it in front of a audience.

It was the first song that made us famous, but it was for us as well, the first song that came out of the studio where we thought "We're onto something here."

I don't think we've ever done a live show without it, because that's what everybody wants to hear and it always works.

And it's just always- the string intro comes in, people are not quite sure yet what's gonna come, but then when the guitar starts kicking in, everybody's like, "Wow."

That's the song, and it happens every night, all around the world, in every country.

SEBASTIAN: Woo!

Do you remember this song?

It kind of encapsulates the nature of what Il Divo is and how we do it.

We hope that it will be one of your favorites as well.

We hope that you had a wonderful evening tonight.

Thank you so much for joining us.
