Richard Abowitz: I remember at one Tiger Jam a few years ago, Christina Aguilera performed. But there were a lot of rumors that she had just split with her manager before the show and hired you, and there was a lot of backstage stuff. Can you fill us in on what happened?
Irving Azoff: That bill had her, Seal and LeAnn Rimes. I met her just before that. I went to Denver the night before and met up with her. We flew together to Las Vegas and we had our first meal together at In ‘N Out Burger and then we went to the Mandalay. It was a very traumatic time in her life. Her parents were there. The show was an odd combination and there was some LeAnn Rimes drama about who was going on first and who was using pyro and other crap. But it was fun.
Abowitz: Is there any back story you can tell us about Christina Aguilera’s appearance in “Shine a Light” (the Rolling Stones film directed by Martin Scorsese)?
Azoff: A magical moment. You need to see it on the big screen. They filmed it on two days, but did not really rehearse it. The show was very spontaneous. The first day was good. But everything about it worked the second day. The way she interacted with Mick and the way she nailed the song. She may be the greatest female singer alive. It was a great event.
