CELEBRATING 40 YEARS IN MUSIC LEO SAYER ANNOUNCES HIS 40TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT TOUR
Hit-makers come and go in the fickle world of popular music, but Leo Sayer is a stayer, a powerhouse performer who is still captivating audiences globally after 40 years.
CELEBRATING 40 YEARS IN MUSIC LEO SAYER ANNOUNCES HIS 40TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT TOUR
It was in 1971 when Gerard Sayer made the decision to leave his career in commercial art and seriously follow his passion into the world of music and song writing. His manager’s wife thought he looked like a lion with his incredible mane of curly hair. It was that moment that Gerard became Leo – Leo the lion – Leo Sayer.
Leo Sayer has sold millions of albums around the world and has had 20 worldwide top ten hits during his career, many of these self-penned, and he continues to entertain audiences with an amazing live show featuring his uniquely powerful and recognisable voice. Since his first tour down under in the early ‘70s Leo fell in love with Australia and in 2009 became an Australian citizen.
To celebrate four decades in the music business Leo will be touring throughout 2011 taking his musical party around Australia, Asia and New Zealand. Plans are also underway for tours of England and Europe later in the year. This year’s show will be a look back over Leo’s forty year journey that has seen him win a Grammy, fill stadiums around the globe with his concerts and ride a wonderful roller coaster of career highs and lows in the crazy world of the music industry. Leo has come out smiling with energy and enthusiasm to burn.
Leo Sayer is truly an amazing character. Some say one of the greatest pop voices of our time. His songs are played constantly in all corners of the globe on a daily basis. At 62 years of age, and with no signs of slowing down, his voice is as strong as it has ever been. His creativity is constantly flowing, fuelled by his boyish enthusiasm and love of music and the art of creating music. He is often working in the studio he built in his house, recording and writing new songs for an album that he will be releasing next year.
Leo Sayer’s 40th Anniversary Concert Tour will feature all his hits including You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, Thunder In My Heart, When I Need You, One Man Band, Long Tall Glasses and many more. Songs that captivated a generation around the world and had Australians glued to their sets each week on Countdown.
Leo Sayer - A remarkable artist, an amazing catalogue of songs and a sensational live show.
Join Leo for one night and celebrate his amazing career - we know that you will feel like dancing!
