Pop diva Lili Ivanova ended her national tour with a concert at Sofia Arena, where she performed to a packed house of over 15,000.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just want to say that when I had an opportunity to emigrate, a long time ago, I chose to stay in Bulgaria and I do not regret it. I love you,” Lili Ivanova said at the end of her concert. Her words were followed by a long standing ovation.

Lili Ivanova sang 16 songs, spanning her 60-year long career, with the audience singing along to most of them.
