I have no idea how he got through those opening lines without losing it completely. As raw and heartfelt as ever a song was sung. He's incredible.

This was named the #1 moment in ARIA Awards history for a reason.

How he kept himself from breaking down in tears is a mystery. I bet somewhere deep down inside he's wishing Paul was there with him and he was in spirit.

He walked off stage and broke down - or, so, I've read.

Depression at its worst is terrifying, It has a hold of you and you don’t feel in control, you may have bad insomnia too with it and feel full of self loathing and shame over things as your mind drags up everything in your past to torment you. It’s horrific and it takes lives when people feel there’s no escape

Neil's performance was outsatanding. Sometimes I think Neil must be the messiah. He is definitely a gift from God.

Neil kept it tight and together during this great and very emotional offering to the great Crowded House drummer, Paul Hester RIP. I would've lost it at the first verse since it is one of my favorite Crowded House songs.

Maybe, the loss was too recent and too raw, for a lead-in? Can we all please just pause for a moment to say thank you to Paul for his musical contribution to the memories of those privileged enough to view his video antics and hear his musical talents. As is stated, very audibly at the end of this "Love you Paul."

Hey Aria channel, We (My brother and family) have been watching the clip of Neil on here for years and always loved the into tribute to Paul Hester. (To the point where we can easily recite the narrative and we regularly did.) Why have you now had it removed??? Seems like we have now lost a piece of history and you've ruined the spirit of this performance. Not happy!
