Confirming a significant 23-date run starting autumn 2026, Leo Sayer announced plans for what will be his final full UK tour.
Now 78-years old, the legendary singer said that while he’s not retiring from live work altogether, he’s prepared to scale back the heavy touring schedule that’s defined his fifty-year career, stating:
“I love performing for my fans and look forward to doing so for many more years, but this will be the last time I play so many dates across the country,” adding that while he still feels “fit as ever,” he doesn’t expect to take on another nationwide run of this size as he approaches his 80th birthday.
Sayer’s extensive trek will see the musician return to theaters and concert halls across Great Britain, Scotland and Wales, including stops along the way at the London Palladium, Birmingham Town Hall, Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall and Edinburgh’s Usher Hall.
Launching October 7 in Bexhill-on-Sea and continues through to November 15 in Edinburgh, with shows in Kings Lynn, Worthing, Folkestone, Watford, Cambridge, Poole, Southend, York, Buxton, Salisbury, Swansea, Liverpool, Nottingham, Newcastle and Glasgow among others.
In addition to his live performances, a career-spanning Leothology box set will drop this autumn, and his first autobiography, Just A Boy, is currently in its final editing stages ahead of a planned release later in the year.
Known for a catalogue of hits that includes ‘Thunder In My Heart,’ ‘Moonlighting,’ ‘One Man Band,’ ‘More Than I Can Say,’ Have You Ever Been in Love,’ ‘The Show Must Go On,’ and his #1 charting ‘When I Need You’ and ‘You Make Me Feel Like Dancing,’ the British/Australian-native promises a high-energy, hit-packed show for what will be his last major UK tour.
