IT has been almost four years since Michael Bublé embarked upon a full UK tour, but this is about to change and Brum will be a stop for local fans.

A spokesman said: “His recent summer shows have demonstrated that there’s still a huge public demand for his golden vocal tone and superstar charisma. His huge British Summer Time Festival show in Hyde Park sold-out in advance and then a one-off headline show at The O2 in London sold-out immediately.

“Now, as Michael Bublé now announces a major UK arena tour next summer, demand for tickets is sure to be stratospheric. The tour includes two nights at The O2, where he famously sold 200,000 tickets over the course of a ten-night residency back in 2013.”

But it also includes a May 20 date at Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena. But what will fans hear?

The spokesman added: “Bringing a new chapter to a career in which he has sold over 60 million albums worldwide, his latest album, Love, represents Michael’s most romantic album to date. After taking a two-year break from public life to spend time with his family, the Canadian singer-songwriter returned to the studio with a new perspective on life and a renewed commitment to honouring the music he has always loved.

“Bublé brings new love to several rich classics from the American Songbook. Highlights include a haunting take on a Rodgers & Hart standard, ‘My Funny Valentine’, an ebullient ‘When You’re Smiling’ and a swinging ‘Such A Night’.”

A touching Bublé-penned original ‘Forever Now’ demonstrates his songwriting skills.
