Taking the elimination with complete sportsmanship, they explained that they always believed in their song Dance (Our Own Party), but the way Eurovision works through tele-voting makes it very difficult for countries like Malta to get through.

The boys also expressed their hopes that one day, Malta might make it to the top in the competition, urging Maltese artists to not be discouraged by the whole endeavour.

However, he thanked everyone for being on their side and showing them support all the way through. They also teased some possible work in the future, so we’ll be keeping our eyes on this trio!

In a video and a couple of photos uploaded to social media, the couple showed the setting up of the platform which was the only thing (bar a lot of ropes) keeping them from plummeting into the valley below.

And while we’d personally stick to camping on solid ground, we can’t help but be impressed by this pair’s adventurous spirit!
