Shayne Ward Announces Dates For First UK Tour In Two Years & Tickets
Tuesday, 18 January 2011
Written by Brad Norris
Shayne Ward is well and truly back with a new single, 'Obsession', from the album of the same name, a top ten hit in 'Gotta Be Somebody' and now the announcement of his first UK tour in two years.
A show stopping performance on X Factor and the release his third album late in 2010 reminded everyone of his very special vocal prowess. Ward, a singer’s singer, if ever there was one, says he’s thrilled to be back out on the road. He adds that, “as a singer and performer nothing beats the excitement of working with a live audience”. Live has always been Shayne’s natural habitat and now taking 'Obsession' out on the road, he’s putting on the ultimate show, with his first set of intimate dates starting in Wolverhampton on 15th March.
Ward, who tours Ireland and Germany straight after the UK shows will be performing an array of his hits, right from his X Factor smash 'That’s My Goal' to his RnB infused 'No U Hang Up' to new fan favorites on current album 'Obsession'. Having found his rightful place in pop society, The X Factor may have launched him but like another vocal great he has already moved beyond that point. Few know that Tony Bennett, one of Shayne’s all time heroes, came second in a talent show for singing waiters. However, he landed a recording deal with Sony, and has recorded 100 albums for the label.
The platform might be different but each generation throws up real talent and that always rises to the top whatever the route. This time around it’s Shayne Ward.
The album ‘Obsession’ is out now; the single ‘Obsession’ is out February 14th.
