You might be surprised\u2026 But if I told you that I shared my dressing room at the Moulin Rouge with some lion cubs\u2026 You certainly wouldn\u2019t believe me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, accompanied by a professional at the Moulin Rouge, we were lucky enough to meet these magnificent lion cubs just a few minutes before our performance on stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It naturally made me think of Michael Jackson and his wild animals \u2013 for the *Thriller* album, in his park or whilst on tour in South Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
