“Usually I’m not this flashy,” Deacon told People about his outfit at the event. “But you’ve got to have those in the bag, those once-in-a-while occasion looks. And that’s what I love about this, is that sparkle.”

“Usually I like to wear stuff that’s comfortable, that I can do my job in, which is to make music and perform,” he added. “Going out there tonight, I obviously want to wear something that I’m able to perform in — like this suit, which is surprisingly very comfortable.”
