He said: "I’ve been asked to do it before but I think honestly, for me where I am in my life, 11 years in Vegas, all the venues I’ve played – I want to just get out of my own way, let go a little bit and have some fun.

He added: "I’m sure I’m gonna get a hard time now and then, but I’m going to do my best."
