The black van came to a slow halt in front of the hotel, its tinted windows concealing its occupants from the crowd that had gathered outside. The media and fans, penned behind metal barricades, buzzed with anticipation. Paparazzi clutched their cameras tightly, journalists jostled for position, and the fans' excitement was palpable. For hours, they had waited in the hope of catching a glimpse of the elusive Moonlight, the artist whose first live concert was just hours away.
A hush fell over the crowd for a brief moment as the van's engine cut off. The door opened, and as soon as the first figure stepped out, chaos erupted.
"Moonlight! Moonlight!" Fans screamed his name with fervor, their voices merging into one roaring chorus.
