Music legend Leo Sayer is back to “full speed ahead” mode for UK for a tour from September after the 2023 shows were suddenly postponed due to a sudden illness.
The 2023 UK tour was put on hold while Leo spent time in hospital before recuperating at his Southern Highlands home in New South Wales, Australia.
The break has obviously done Leo well who has not only recovered to full health by also used his downtime to record a brand new album that will be released before the tour.
The new record, to be called ‘1992’ sounds like a missing link in the Leo catalogue. The songs date back to 1992 but were not used at the time. I think fans will be surprised when they hear the new music. You’ll hear reminders of sounds that made you a fan of Leo’s music in the 70s and 80s.
There are a few projects bubbling from Leo which will become obvious as 2024 progresses. One is his autobiography, which when you consider what an incredible storyteller the man is, will be a must-read book.

• September 24. – Southend Cliffs Pavilion
