DISTURBED‘s David Draiman proposed to his girlfriend on stage during the band’s concert in Sacramento, California Friday night (May 9).
The emotional proposal took place before the second-to-last song of DISTURBED‘s set at Golden 1 Center, “The Light”, which was part of the band’s ongoing “The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour”.
After bringing Sarah Uli out on stage, David pulled her close to him and said into the microphone: ?”Sarah, my love, you have made my life so much better. You are the light in the darkness for me. I love you more than anything I have ever loved in this world, and it would be the absolute pinnacle of my life and my existence…”
He then reached into his right pocket and pulled out a tiny box and opened it before getting down on one knee. The singer continued: “Sarah Uli, will you marry me?” Sarah quickly nodded yes before David got back up and put the ring from the box on her finger.
Draiman then addressed the crowd: “In case you didn’t hear, she said ‘yes’.”
“Go ahead and join the rest of your family, sweetheart,” he directed his soon-to-be wife.
DISTURBED kicked off the U.S. leg of “The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour” on February 25 at Ford Idaho Center Arena in Nampa, Idaho.
