Other guests also joined Nievera on stage, from a duet with OPM legend Joey Albert to an appearance by the Black Eyed Peas&#x27; apl.de.ap who introduced a video montage of stars honoring Nievera and his career.&quot;It was really a shocker. It made it seem a little longer than I expected but it was such a welcome moment for me that my colleagues, my idols in the industry, saying such kind words to me,&quot; Nievera said.But the biggest surprise of the night was his three sons Robin, Ram, and Santino joining him on stage.&quot;Ram is more of an animator. He wants to be the next Filipino in Pixar. And Santino, of course, he’s had all these different issues throughout his life. It&#x27;s gonna be his challenge forever and he&#x27;s been trying to find his magic for many years. Is it the piano? Is it the violin? Was it memorizing the patterns of things? I was gonna take him to Vegas to win some money,&quot; Nievera quipped. &quot;It’s not going to happen because he wants to be a drummer, so we were able to put all that together in very little time and what a special day, on my 40th anniversary.&quot;The Concert King will be back in the US soon to headline ASAP Natin &#x27;To live in Las Vegas.&quot;They called me and said there&#x27;s no way in the world that we&#x27;re going to your neck of the woods, Las Vegas on November 5 and bring asap to Las Vegas.
