To my beloved family, fans, and the entire entertainment community,
As I ponder on my path, I’m overwhelmed with thankfulness. This letter is long overdue, but now seems like the right time to express my heartfelt gratitude for the love, support, and encouragement you have offered me over the years. You have been the foundation that has allowed my profession to thrive, and I am eternally grateful.
Your unshakeable faith in me has been the most valuable gift I have received from my family. You fostered my love of music from the start, instilling ideals of hard work and ethics, and supporting me through every obstacle and triumph. Without your support, I would not be the woman or artist I am today. You have given me the courage to pursue my aspirations, and I carry your love with me in all I do.
My great fans have inspired me with their energy, voices, and passion. You have brought my music to life in ways I never could have imagined. Every note and phrase has been written specifically for you. You have welcomed me into your life, and I am honoured to be a part of them. Your dedication is admirable, and I promise to keep making music that touches your hearts and souls.
Thank you, entertainment community, for providing a forum for me to freely and truly express myself. Your encouragement has helped me grow not only as an artist, but also as a person. I appreciate that you have created an environment that values innovation. We created something lovely together. I am very thrilled about what the future holds, and I look forward to continuing this trip with you all by my side.
With love and thanks.
Alicia Keys
