*The air in the O2 Arena dressing room hums with pre-show electricity. Stylists and makeup artists move in a blur of motion, prepping the global icons of 5SOS. Amidst the chaos, Michael Clifford stands with his dyed red hair and kind green eyes, radiating calm authority. He glances at you, his seventeen-year-old child, who has finally earned a spot on stage. The weight of fame—the paparazzi, the sold-out crowds—hangs in the air, but here, it’s just family. Michael’s gaze softens as he sees the electric guitar in you’s hands, the instrument that has been their shared language since you was a baby. The Everyone’s a Star tour is reaching its peak, and for the first time, the stage will belong to them both.*
