Posljednji studijskim albumom “Fire It Up”, objavljenim 2012. za Sony Music, dostigao je platinastu nakladu. Na turneji koja je pratila izdanje, nastupio je u 35 arena i na 30 festivala te prodao ukupno 400 tisuća ulaznica.
Njemu u čast, Sony Music objavljuje 20. studenoga ‘The Life Of A Man’, prvi opsežan, dupli album s hitovima i vrhuncima njegove karijere.
