"I made that album [808’s And Heartbreak], I was in a really dark place in my life that’s why the title ended in Heartbreak, losing everything that was important to me…and I always said when I was working on the last album [My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy], I can’t wait to perform “Power” at Coachella. This is the most important show to me since my mom passed. And to be able to close the festival and see all of you who still love me after everything I read on tv said the opposite. For us to still go platinum, for us to still have number ones, to have fans that was here since “Through The Wire” that you ain’t believe shit that they said and I really appreciate ya’ll tonight, ‘cause you know I’m only tryna say and do what’s right, I only want betta for ya’ll, betta for us, the best music possible. I’m not the best singer in the world, but the notes…the notes and the feeling was inside of me so fuck it, I went ahead and did it…and to have this moment is so unbelievable. There’s many times when I thought about not being here and you all make all worth it.
