Just like the giant butterflies hovering above Michael Bibi, a metamorphosis unfurled over the weekend in London, where the DJ headlined the largest electronic show in the city's history.

The rare cancer that had once threatened to clip his own wings served a new purpose for Bibi, who on Saturday night shattered records at Finsbury Park by drawing over 45,000 attendees. The momentous hometown performance kicked off his celebratory "One Life" tour after a brutal six-month battle with CNS Lymphoma.

"I am still very much in recovery," Bibi told Billboard prior to the show. "I'm only doing a very, very, very, very limited number of shows and making sure they are the best that they can possibly be."

Mission accomplished. As lights danced and bodies swayed, Bibi unfolded a deliriously exuberant celebration of life snatched from the jaws of mortality. Massive LED screens projected aching footage from those dark days in the hospital as well as video montages including flashback scenes from the DJ's childhood with his father, who ultimately joined him onstage for a dramatic guitar solo.
