ONE of Pitbull’s biggest fans, Glenn Nealon, was in the right place at the right time when he found himself face-to-face with the global superstar at Shannon Airport in the early hours of Monday morning.

Limerick man Glenn, who works at Shannon Airport was thrilled to meet his idol as the chart-topping rapper and singer passed through Shannon on his way home following a concert in Malta.

Their chance encounter was even more special as Glenn was able to chat to Pitbull about attending his concert in Thomond Park last month.

Describing the meeting as a real “pinch me moment,” Glenn couldn’t speak highly enough of the forty five year old. “He’s the most genuine celebrity. What you see on stage is exactly what you get. He’s an absolute gem of a man, full of love and appreciation for his fans,” he said.

Not one to miss the opportunity, Glenn also had a special message for ‘Mr. Worldwide’ himself: “I asked him to please come back and tour again soon, I told him Ireland will be ready”.
