"I want to thank my whole team for working tirelessly to make this happen and my wife for always being by my side, I love you. When it comes to the performance it's still hard to process how amazing it really was to be up there on that stage. No doubt a defining moment of my career."

"Tracy, I want to send my sincerest thanks to you for allowing me to be a part of your moment. Thank you for the impact you have had on my musical journey, and the musical journeys of countless other singers, songwriters, musicians, and fans alike. I hope you felt how much you meant to the world that night. We were all in awe of you up there and I was just the guy lucky enough to have the best seat in the house," he concluded.

Luke had previously heard Chapman's original rendition of 'Fast Car.'
He described the hit as his favourite song before I even knew what a favourite song was.
The two musicians finally met in person on January 31 at SIR studio in Los Angeles, three months after they first spoke on the phone.
