“Good morning ladies and gentlemen, this is Angela Pirie and it is Saturday the twenty fourth of April at eleven o'clock. We break the morning’s television schedule to bring you some very breaking news. As you may all be aware Dominic Salvatore was stabbed a few weeks ago and was lucky to recover. Well Dominic has been making a slow but good recovery and has made what he tells me is a very difficult decision. Dominic called us last night to organise a press release conference where he wishes to speak with all his fans. Although this is a local news station for Las Vegas, this press release is going out nationally. I will now hand you over to Dominic Salvatore who has partner Samuel Carhill by his side for support. Dominic if you would like to go ahead now.”
Dominic looked at Angela and gave her a smile and a nod of his head, “Thank you sugar.” He then turned to Sam and gave him a weak smile but looking at him for support more than anything else and then faced the camera again.
“First of all I would like to thank all my fans for their continued support over the last couple of years it has been an amazing ride and I know that I wouldn’t have gotten as far as I did without you all, I love you all very much you have to know that. However, as you are aware I was stabbed at a concert I put on in Hawaii while I was on holiday with my darling Sam. I will not go into details about it as I have promised Sam I will never speak of him again but know that it was a difficult time for us both. I am slowly recovering and already I feel much better, however I have been doing a lot of thinking since the event and I have come to a very difficult decision but I am hoping all my wonderful fans will support me.
I have decided to cut back on my singing career I am sad to admit, but I cannot allow for a similar thing to happen to me again, of course I would like to think that none of my fans would even think of doing something like that, but it’s true to say that you don’t know everything about everybody in the world and I simply cannot take the risk. I am however going to remain a local singer because I know I could never give up performing completely. My plan is to put on local concerts biannually, once in Laughlin and once in Las Vegas. I will continue to work on new music and that music will be available nationally but understand that I will not be doing the massive tours nationally that I have done in the past.
I will do a national tour maybe once every two years, as I feel that will be enough for me and even then it will only happen if my darling Sam is available to be able to come with me, as I cannot do it without him, I am sad to admit that I am just simply too scared otherwise. Despite cutting back on my singing career you will or should still hear a lot about me as I have decided to go into fashion. I am sure you will be hearing about Salvatore Fashion soon enough and I will make the shops available nationwide. So instead of hearing me singing as often as you have, you will be hearing about the most recent designs by Dominic Salvatore.
I understand that this will come as a shock and a disappointment to all of you and I am very sorry but I am also hoping that you will all be understanding of my situation and continue to support me in the best way that you can. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Ryan Salvatore, my twin brother. If it weren’t for Ryan I wouldn’t be sitting here today addressing you all, he saved my life and for that I will be eternally grateful. Stace, I know you will be watching this, I just want to say, thank you for being there for me since we bumped into each other again a couple of months ago, I look forward to spending even more time with you sister, and maybe you might let me design your wedding dress for you? Give my Little Angel a kiss from me.
To all my fans I just want to say one last thing to you, remember to stay true to yourself and never to be ashamed of the person you are and remember never to let anyone change you. We should all love the skin we’re in, love is all around and all is love.”
Dominic then put his hand up to his lips and blew a few kisses in the general direction of all the television cameras that were pointing in his direction and then he stood up slowly, waiting for Sam so he could support him and then giving the cameras a quick wave, he made his way out of the press area and to safety, so that he could go back home and just relax the day away with Sam.
