Pharrell Williams cries during interview

Pharrell Williams became emotional and shed tears of joy during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. The 41year old singer cried out of happiness after Oprah, 60, showed him a montage of fan videos to his hit track Happy, reported Contactmusic.

“It’s overwhelming because I love what I do and I just appreciate the fact that people have believed in me for so long, that I could make it to this point to feel that,” he said. Pharrell was particularly delighted by the song’s success as it had struggled to get any radio play before its release.

“Zero air play, nothing. And the next thing you know, we put out the video on November 21 and all of a sudden, boom! And we were like, what’s happening? First of all, people are putting up their own videos. It was like no longer my song,” he added. Happy has topped musical charts almost all over the world.
