During a press conference, Russell shared what was in store for their fans.</p><p>“The bulk of our show stays the same because everybody wants to hear the hit songs and we have so many. We don’t have a lot of space for anything new. Here, we’re going to play, I think two or three brand new songs from the new album. It’s a balance because want to hear the hits. They just do. If I go to a show, I want to hear the hit songs. So we know what people want to hear and we play them. We play every single hit song we’ve ever had. So it’s a long show so they better get ready,” he explained.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOtqTS6kow5/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A288793%2C%22ls%22%3A73459.30000007153%2C%22le%22%3A73709.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="780" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong> </strong></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/music/2025/9/19/air-supply-on-appreciating-their-pinoy-fans-we-love-the-way-that-they-sing-1001"><strong><u>READ: Air Supply on appreciating their Pinoy fans: ‘We love the way that they sing’</u></strong></a></div><div> </div><p>Noting their five-decade-long career, Russel said authenticity has always been the key to their longevity and success. </p><p>“There’s not really any secrets. We just do what we love to do. But we never try to be anything else. We never try to be something that we’re not. So whatever it is we are, that’s as ourselves. For instance, we’re very romantic people, the both of us. But if we were trying to be romantic and we weren’t, it wouldn’t be right. So we’re being very real with everybody and we don’t hold any secrets or any weird things going on. This is who we are, for good or bad. But usually, it’s good,” he added.</p><p>Air Supply is known for timeless classics such as “All Out of Love,” “Every Woman in the World,” “Here I Am,” and “Making Love Out of Nothing at All”, among others.</p><div> </div>
