“I almost need to rename the tour to the Miracle Tour or something. Because if there’s a moment where she’s with us and joining us on stage, it’s going to be unbelievably special,” said Hough. “I don’t know even know how I’m going to [get] through it. I’m an emotional guy.”
The choreographer recently shared with PEOPLE thatthe “most emotional” thing for both of themis the support they’ve felt from those around them since Erbert’s health crisis.
“The thing that really makes us — and really her — the most emotional about all of this is just the love that she felt from not just family and friends, but just from everyone. It’s a really beautiful feeling and we’re just really thankful for that," he said.
