Posting the snaps on his Instagram page of himself with Andrea and Virginia, Matteo relished the opportunity to perform at Madison Square Garden.

He captioned it: "Madison Square Garden is the world's most famous arena. You can feel a special aura here.

"Even during rehearsals with all the seats empty, you feel the energy of this place. Some of the biggest events in sports and music history were held here."

Matteo then paid tribute to some of the late stars and more who have made the venue so iconic over the years.

Matteo continued: "When you walk to the stage from the dressing room there are pictures lining the corridors of all the great artists who performed here before.

"Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury and Elton John, just to name a few.

"It's a truly unique feeling performing here, and seeing this incredible audience in front of me moved me a lot."

The rising star thanked the team and fellow artists singing in the show for giving him such a "great opportunity" and most of all his father Andrea who gave him "the space to perform…and of course little Virginia."
