The 18-year-old rising star said:

"He [Adrian Lee] will have the full support of his family and friends and fans around the world. But it's a huge moment, obviously to come back. You know, Adrian was very close, very close to Victoria. in the same way, growing up, Christian and Angela were close. Victoria and Adrian, because of the age gap. Adrian loves what he does, he really wants his shot and he's ready. He's ready to go."
