Hi to all of my fans in the UK, I am so sorry that I was unable to fly to London to be with you all in person at the European premiere of THE LAST SONG, especially as the event is in aid of such a great cause, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.

Thank you to everyone who bought tickets to support the appeal to raise money to redevelop the hospital, your contribution means a lot.

THE LAST SONG is a really important movie to me. It's a story about family, about first loves, second chances and the moments that lead you back home. I know that Liam and our director Julie Ann Robinson are also really disappointed not to be in London with you, especially since Julie Anne has such close ties with the UK and has lots of her friends and family there.

And to all of my fans in Rome and Munich, I am so sorry I cannot be there with you. I really hope you enjoy the film and I hope to see you soon!
