Henry Moodie talks fame, fan vibes, and Bradley Simpson's surprise appearance
Ahead of the highly anticipated concert, a press conference was held at Hilton KL, where Henry reflected on how life hasn't changed much since rising to fame as a TikTok star in 2022.
'I still have a similar friendship group, I still live at home with my parents, I guess the one thing that's changed is I'm much busier now and travelling a lot.
'My private life, I manage to keep it private, which I'm quite happy about.
'But I do feel like I live this double life, it is literally like Hannah Montana.
'So yeah, I guess Henry Montana,' he playfully told Malay Mail.
Now on his fourth visit to Kuala Lumpur, Henry shared his appreciation for the fans and the city's landmarks.
'The earliest time we were here, we explored the Batu Caves, and explored around the Twin Towers.
'This time we can't get to see much of Malaysia, but I'm excited to keep coming back and keep exploring, because it's such a beautiful city.
'I also wanna see different parts of Malaysia, like go to an island, so it's cool to maybe one day branch out and see different things,' he added.
At the press conference, Bradley also revealed the story behind teaming up with Henry for tonight's much-anticipated show.
'I've known Henry for years because he toured with our band, like four or five years ago.
'We became good friends and have written songs together.
'When he texted me saying he was doing a show and asked if I wanted to join, I said absolutely — I'd love to, and it would be really fun,' he said.
He also shared some of his latest experiences in Malaysia.

'It's just so cool coming to the other side of the world, seeing the support of Malaysians,' he added, sharing that he tried banana leaf rice and had a short tour around Bangsar.
Fresh off the debut of his solo album, released in February, The Panic Years, Bradley revealed that more music is on the way.
'I believe what's different with being in a band and a solo artist is that it's slightly quieter day to day.
'When it's with the band, we're all very loud, which is great.
'I think overall it's just slightly a different challenge in terms of music,' he added.
Tonight's first stop of Henry's Asia tour is expected to be a highlight, with many local fans eager to experience the Henry vibe.
Other stops on the tour include Bangkok, Taipei, Hong Kong and Tokyo, all of which have already sold out, while tickets for Shanghai and Seoul are selling fast.
In addition to Bradley joining him on stage tonight, Henry shared that tonight's concert will include some unreleased tracks.
'Expect the performance at Zepp KL to be a group therapy vibe, we are all there singing the songs together, and I feel like I'm really gonna take it all in,' Henry added.

'Old is gold' and Rosyam Nor proves it right by winning the AMT2025 Hottest Viral Celebrity Award
You've got to hand it to Datuk Rosyam Nor. And please do not call the man a veteran despite being in the business for 40 years. Congratulations to one of Malaysia's most well-known actors and businessmen. He proved that at the age of 58, he is still the man to beat in the industry. Rosyam, who actually looked surprised when he was announced, but much to the delight of fans in the arena, was the recipient of the Hottest Viral Celebrity Award at the Hottest Melodi Awards 2025 ( Anugerah Selebriti Viral Terhangat di Anugerah Melodi Terhangat 2025 - AMT2025 ). While Rosyam said the victory was a major surprise for him, it was not for the fans, as they celebrated with thunderous cheers from the audience. The category at AMT2025 is a special category given to individuals who have created an extraordinary impact on social media, and this year, the organisers said, no one is more deserving than Rosyam. It all started with a dramatic scene in the sensational TV3 drama 'Keluarga Itu', which featured Rosyam Nor as a conflicted husband. However, the most viral moment was when he adorably smacked his own lips. The scene sparked an explosion of reactions on TikTok, from parodies to reaction videos, making it one of the most talked about clips of the year. Rosyam also touched on the extraordinary impact of the viral scene, which sparked a wave of conversation on social media, reaching 1.3 billion tweets. This achievement is proof of how a simple but heartfelt moment of acting can transcend the screen and become a digital phenomenon, further cementing his position as a legendary figure who remains relevant. The award is also further proof that Rosyam is not only a legend in the world of acting but also a figure who is always able to adapt to current trends and tastes. From TV screens to phone screens, his influence remains relevant, even now, among the digital generation, who are always looking for stories that touch emotions and spark conversations.

#NSTviral: Durian seller wins hearts after treating children to free Musang King
KUALA LUMPUR: Three children hoping to buy durian with just RM15 were overjoyed when a vendor gifted them a prized Musang King instead. The heartwarming encounter, captured in a TikTok video that has since garnered over 1.9 million views and 145,300 likes, shows the young trio approaching a durian stall and being asked by the vendor how much money they had. The clip shows the children revealing their pooled savings—RM2, RM5 and RM8—to the vendor, who then surprised them with the expensive fruit. The vendor, known on TikTok as @bala_durian, was so moved by their effort that he offered them an entire Musang King durian, one of the most expensive and sought-after varieties. "You have RM15? Alright, hold onto your money. Here is a Musang King. No need to weigh it, no need to pay, it's my treat," he said. He also asked if the money was from their savings, to which the children replied yes. Impressed by their discipline, he praised them and encouraged them to keep the money. "Good on you. Keep your money," he said. The children, visibly overjoyed, repeatedly asked for confirmation that it was indeed Musang King, hardly believing their luck. The video quickly went viral, with netizens flooding the comments section to praise the seller's kindness and humility. Many were touched by the way he treated the children with such gentleness and respect. "Thank you. May your livelihood be blessed and your affairs eased," said one user. Another commenter showed interest in visiting his stall to support the trader who showed such generosity to the children. "Thank you for treating the children so kindly. Where is your stall? I'd like to support you."
