Fade wrote the long note to explain his thoughts on the dream job at KIIS FM, expressing how life threw him a curveball. However, he shared that he would “never say no” to a permanent return to his home country of Australia. “It’s nice to put it out there publicly. I’ve called Dubai home for 19 years – I can’t just pack my bags and go. There are things I’m committed to starting in a few months, so that’s one of the reasons,” he said on The Kris Fade Show on Monday morning.

Fade went on to express that he loves what he does in Dubai with the company, radio, family, and his team. “My family is also here; my wife, my children, my two daughters are graduating from high school in the next two years. I think packing our bags and going home now will not be easy for them either,” he said, per Nine. While he always misses life in Australia, he believes he made the right choice.
