Alexander O'Neal announces farewell tour
After nearly 50 years in the music business, Alexander O'Neal has announced he's retiring from live performing, and is embarking on a farewell tour called "Time To Say Goodbye".
The 69-year-old soul legend - who achieved fourteen Top 40 UK singles in the 1980s and 90s with hits including "If You Were Here Tonight", "Criticize" and "The Lovers" - said he'd had a fantastic career and he was "excited to hit the road one last time" with never-before-seen-photos, testimonies and tributes forming part of the concerts.
The "Time To Say Goodbye" tour will take in venues across England from this autumn - and around the world in countries including Australia and Japan - with one final UK performance in June 2024 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
