HE IS one of the biggest names in pop, with a career spanning decades – he’s even made the Guinness Book of Records. Now, he’s preparing Engelbert Humperdinck is preparing to celebrate his oeuvre with a retrospective celebration.

A contemporary of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, friends with Elvis and a pin-up on the wall of millions of teenage bedrooms, he has enjoyed hit after hit after hit.

It all started with Release Me, a record that won a record after achieving 56 consecutive weeks on the charts, and was a number one hit in 11 countries.

Others followed, seeing him sell more than 140 million records across the world, picking up 64 gold and 35 platinum albums, four Grammy Award nominations, a Golden Globe, and his own star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

He says he takes great pleasure in every moment on stage.

His music has transcended time and his voice continues to reach out to people now – serving to transport and inspire, to embrace and to provoke feelings and emotions…ingredients that are no doubt the essence of his long-lasting success.
