Michael Buble spotted Down Under
<p dir="ltr">Canadian singing sensation Michael Bublé has landed in Australia ahead of his 2023 Higher Tour. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The star was initially set to perform in 2022, but due to “global logistical issues” he and his team were unable “to deliver the show that I feel Australians deserve”, and postponed until the following year. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“Although it’s incredibly disappointing for all of us, I wanted to be transparent with you,” he said in a statement to fans at the time, “and hope you can understand what a difficult decision this was to make.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">The first stop on the renewed tour saw him in Newcastle, before he jetted off to Perth for his second show Down Under. </p>
<p dir="ltr">It was there that he crossed paths with his mother, taking to social media to share a sweet snap of their Aussie reunion, with a caption that left fans all across the globe chuckling. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The picture saw Michael standing with an arm around his mum, Amber Santagà, smiles on each of their faces with water and the looped architectural designs of Elizabeth Quay behind them. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“My mom opted for the upgraded ‘meet & greet’ package which included a brief conversation and one photograph,” he quipped.</p>

<p dir="ltr">One of the first up to respond was Michael’s wife, Luisana Lopilato, who took the opportunity to gush over the mother-and-son duo, writing “Love you mom. Love u mike.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">His sister, Brandee, joined in from there, adding her own “Omg. I love this so much!!! Hi momma! Hi Mike! I love this so much!”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, fans of the singer wanted to get in on the fun too, with many sharing that they loved the sweet family moment, and welcoming them to their sunny city. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“Wow! Beautiful momma! (and you look pretty good too) Welcome to Perth!” one wrote. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“Amber is very lucky, she got the best package, with the best treatment a son can give to his mother: lots of love and great memories!” another said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Good for her for splurging,” one joked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“She's beautiful and definitely looks too young to be your mama,” someone noted. “You go, girl!”</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Michael, if I didn't know better, I'd think she was your sister!” a like-minded fan added. “You're one lucky guy. Make sure she gets the best seats.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">And the praise for Amanda just kept coming, with another writing, “Smart mum! ‘Meet & greet’ is the way to go!”</p>
