British pop singer Englebert Humperdinck has announced a new run of US live shows.
The tour begins on May 17th in Flagstaff, Arizona, before moving to Fort McDowell, Beverly Hills, Riverside, and a two-night run at Las Vegas’ Orleans Resort. The announcement coincides with the veteran balladeer’s 89th birthday, which he celebrated today.
“So happy to be celebrating another stepping stone in life …. The road , the music and the places I get to see keep me young at heart,” Humperdinck shared in a statement. “And the audiences, some who have been with me since the very beginning and some who have just discovered my music, are both fuel and tonic to me. I work hard and work out religiously and thank God for my blessings.”
The new dates join a previously announced European and UK tour, set to run from September 5th through September 21st. Later in September, Humperdinck will return to the US for two East Coast dates in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, at the Lynn Auditorium and Bally’s Event Center, respectively. In total, he’s set to perform over 60 shows this year throughout Europe, the UK, Southeast Asia and the United States.
Across his decades-long career, Humperdinck has released 42 studio albums, and sold over 140 million records worldwide. He shared his most recent album, All About Love, in 2023. The covers compilation gathered new reworks of hits from the Great American Songbook, like Philly soul classic “When Will I See You Again” and “If You Don’t Know Me By Now,” originally recorded by The Three Degrees in 1974.
In recent years, Humperdinck has also seen multiple older hits surge in popularity after placement on popular TV shows. ”A Man Without Love” was featured in Marvel series Moon Knight, and his song “Quando Quando Quando” appeared in Netflix’s Umbrella Academy.
