In a career spanning nearly 40 years, Michael Bolton’s achievements to date include selling 53 million albums, eight top ten albums, two number one singles on the Billboard charts and accolades from both the American Music and Grammy Awards.

He has enjoyed success as both a performer and songwriter, with musical stars as diverse as Kiss, Barbra Streisand and Bob Dylan all having performed Bolton-penned hits. Michael Bolton has also shared stages with musical royalty including BB King, the great Ray Charles and realising another ambition of performing with the Three Tenors, José Carreras, Plácido Domingo and the late Luciano Pavarotti.

After all of these years, Michael Bolton retains a loyal fanbase and still thrives on performing live. He is especially looking forward to returning to the UK, where his fans are particularly important to him. "I love coming to Britain," he says. "British audiences are wonderful - I find them warm and affectionate and particularly vocal when they join in and sing, which is so great."
